Romsdalsgondolen in Åndalsnes is the newest attraction and the longest cable car in Norway. The rope length is 1675.9 meters, but a ride takes just 5 minutes.
The gondola will bring you to the station at 697 meters above sea level with spectacular panoramic views over fjords and mountain peaks.
Cable car in Åndalsnes opened in May 2021
Does Romsdalsgondolen worth it?
Definitely – Yes! Taking the ride on the gondola and on the station, you will enjoy spectacular views of the valley, surrounding mountains, fjords, and rivers!
From the cable car station, there is a trail to the most recognizable viewpoint of Åndalsnes – Rampestreken. This observation deck is located at 537 meters in height and is very popular among tourists and a great place for beautiful photos and selfies.
We took a ride with the gondola once it was opened and absolutely happy with this new attraction in Åndalsnes. We made a short review on YouTube of Romsdalsgondolen and hiked down to Rampestreken.
Romsdalsgondolen - Gondola Lift in Åndalsnes, Norway, Cable Car Review, 4k
There are many walking trails on the top, and they are all marked with stone turrets and red T signs, so you won’t get lost! You can walk along the ridge higher and enjoy the views of valleys and Trollveggen, mountains, Romsdalsfjorden, Isjorden, and rivers!
One of the most popular hikes is to Romsdalseggen. But do not forget to check the time of the last return trip, so as not to be late.
We definitely recommend the place to visit, but hiking or a trip with a gondola depends on your strength and mood!
Rampestreken
We were on Rampestreken in early spring and climbed from the very bottom and that was a rather hard hike through the melting snow. But now you can take a ride with Romsdalsgondolen and enjoy the views of the snowy peaks from the station or take a hike down to Rampestrekken.
Eggen Restaurant
Eggen Restaurant opens on the top with spectacular views in all directions. This restaurant will be opened in early July, so we recommend checking working hours and booking possibilities in advance since it might be fully booked.
