Full description
The Fjellheisen cable car takes you from the lower station in Tromsdalen up to Storsteinen, 421 metres above sea level, in about five minutes. From the top you look out over Tromsø island, the bridge, the fjords and the mountains beyond.
This is a round-trip ticket with time slots. When you book, you choose a time for the ride up and a later time for the ride down on the same day, and you spend the time in between on the mountain. Departures run regularly through the day, and extra trips are added when it is busy.
At the top there are several viewpoints, hiking trails and the Fjellstua café for coffee, hot chocolate, waffles or a light meal. Come in daylight for the long views, or in the evening for the city lights and, on clear nights between September and April, a good chance of seeing the northern lights. From 20 May to 22 July the midnight sun stays above the horizon around the clock.
Fjellheisen has run since 1961 and is the quickest way to get above the city without leaving it.
Includes
- Cable car ride up at your chosen time slot
