Tromso Cable Car Guide
Ascend to Panoramic Views of Tromsø Guide
The Tromsø Cable Car, known locally as Fjellheisen, offers unparalleled panoramic views of Tromsø city, the surrounding islands, and the majestic mountains. A ride on this cable car is a must-do for any visitor to Tromsø, providing a breathtaking perspective of the Arctic landscape. Whether you visit during the summer's midnight sun or the winter's northern lights season, the views from the top are simply spectacular. The Tromsø Cable Car was built in 1960 and has been a popular attraction ever since. It quickly became a symbol of the city, offering both locals and tourists easy access to the summit of Mount Storsteinen (421 meters above sea level). The cable car provides a convenient and comfortable way to experience the stunning natural beauty of the region without a strenuous hike. At the top of Mount Storsteinen, you can enjoy the panoramic views from the observation deck, take a leisurely hike on the surrounding trails, or relax and enjoy a meal or drink at the Fjellstua restaurant. During the winter months, the summit is a popular spot for northern lights viewing. In the summer, you can enjoy the midnight sun and explore the hiking trails. While at Fjellstua restaurant, try some traditional Norwegian waffles or a hearty bowl of fish soup.
