The Power Way

An engaging visit to the industrial capital of the north!

Experience Norway’s industrial capital in the north, steadily becoming greener and more sustainable in harmony with nature. In this forward-thinking community, you’ll gain an engaging insight into industry and technology through guided tours at Vitensenter Nordland, Helgeland Museum, Mo Industripark, and a dose of railway history with a delightful stay at Sure Hotel Ole Tobias, named after the founder of Nordlandsbanen.

The Power Way allows you to explore Mo i Rana and the history it carries. Upon arrival at Mo i Rana train station, you can check into the hotel conveniently located nearby. Then, an audioguide becomes your companion on a beautiful walking route through the city. You’ll be guided through picturesque sights like Havmannen and the oldest district in Mo i Rana, Moholmen. Enjoy this pleasant stroll while absorbing history from the time when Tiendebytte and the marketplace were significant events on Moholmen.

After the walk, explore Mo i Rana before indulging in a delicious 3-course dinner at Brasserie 8622. Perhaps take a stroll to the Street-art gallery or climb the steps at the ski jump? You may even catch a glimpse of Svartisen, one of Norway’s largest glaciers, from here! Dinner is served at 19:00 at Brasserie 8622, conveniently located near the hotel, allowing you to stroll back for a good night’s sleep when you’re ready.

Breakfast is served in authentic train cars, adorned with old compartment furniture and railway history. After a hearty meal, transportation for the day’s activities will be ready. The first stop is Vitensenter Nordland! A guide will take you into a popular science experience and learning center, featuring engaging technology and experiments. The journey continues to Helgeland Museum, where you’ll learn about nature, Sami culture, and recent history from 1940. The final stop in today’s tour is Mo Industripark. Gain insights into the industry as you step into Mo i Rana’s industrial ecosystem.

The train doesn’t wait, so when the tour concludes, it’s time to grab a bite before the train departs. We recommend a visit to one of the city’s cafes before your journey continues along the Nordlandsbanen.

  • Do you wish to combine packages in your journey?

    1. Prepare which stops you want to include in your package tour. Check the duration of the packages so you don’t overlap. The River Way and The Mountain Way are 2 nights, the rest are only 1 night.

    The train travels northbound, so the order of the stops is:
    Trondheim – Trofors – Mosjøen – Bjerka – Mo i Rana – Lønsdal – Bodø

    2. Go to “Order”, the green button in the bottom right corner, choose the date you wish to start this package and amount of travelers. When combining multiple stops, it’s important to choose the correct “version” when adding the package to your cart. The “version” decides which transportation distance you will include for this package. After choosing the correct «version», add the package it to your cart.

    3. All packages must have a “travel to”, meaning you must select the version that takes you to the activity. If you’re continuing to another stop/package from The River Way, you will book the train from Trofors to the next stop, in the next package when choosing the version. Navigate to the next package by scrolling down this page and clicking on the package you wish to explore.

    4. Last stop? Once you’ve added the package to your cart, make sure to select the train journey from this stop, either to Bodø or back to Trondheim. This is added under “Edit package” in the checkout.

    One-stop journey?

    1. Make sure to “edit package” in the checkout and add transportation to your end station.
