The Power Way
The Power Way is about letting ourselves be shaped by strong inner and outer forces. Mo I Rana has a proud industrial history - with global economic fluctuations which have given the people of Rana the necessary industrial power to charge ahead. Rana has been, and is, a melting pot for technological and cultural opportunities. We welcome you to take in the pulse and currents, - the people, nature, and culture - and use this pulsating energy to charge your inner battery. The journey from the train station to your accommodation is only a short walk. Afterwards we recommend you take a stroll down to the promenade to take in this Arctic Circle city's cultural surprises of the city's past and present. After the closure of Iron Work in 1988, there was a major transition to a greener and more renewable industry. You will hear more about that history on the guided tour later. Today can explore the city yourself or just lay back and relax. Any day gets better with a cup of coffee. Or three. Perhaps you want to take a trip to Saralundstua on beautiful historic Moholmen where you will be served piping hot coffee and the local specialty rengakaka. Which, despite the name, is not a cake, but more of a type of bread baking. Try it with cheese. Heavenly. But you must leave room for later for the wonderful dinner that awaits you tonight. Enjoy the afternoon!
