    Hiking

    For those who don't want to do the hike, a secret from the Cold War era awaits inside the mountain. The hidden Gaustabanen cable car takes you comfortably to the top.

    The journey to the top begins with a kind of tram ride to the starting point of the cable car, which is 850 meters inside the mountain. Then transfer to the cable car, which covers a 40-degree climb over 1,145 meters. Once at the top, all you have to do is enjoy the wonderful view.
