The Rauma Line ends by the fjord in Åndalsnes, and the path to Rampestreken starts a couple of hundred metres from the station. The first stop is the Norwegian Mountaineering Centre, about climbing and peaks in Romsdalen. The path passes the Nebba viewpoint and climbs a long stone staircase to Rampestreken, a steel platform that juts out over the edge at about 540 metres. From the top of Nesaksla you ride the Romsdalen Gondola down, and the walk ends at the train chapel, a chapel in an old railway carriage at the station.
