A cable car leads to the top of Fagernestoppen and its restaurant. Once at the top, there is a magnificent view of the town, which juts out into the blue fjord, surrounded by snow-stained mountains. The perfect setting for a great descent down the slopes! With 9 slopes and 6 chairlifts, the resort is a real playground for the locals who spend their evenings and weekends here. As the season progresses, the sun returns, the light changes and the atmosphere at the top of the slopes is very special, with breathtaking sunsets!

A cable car is certainly expensive but great if you pass by, and especially the opportunity to get high quickly and discover all the hiking trails that start from the summit. In summer, the time amplitudes are obviously greater than in winter. In summer too, there are hikes to be done on foot, but also paragliding, mountain biking, via ferrata and even a zip line open on Saturdays depending on the weather. The cabin is quite spacious and gently lifts us to an altitude of over 1,000 meters in just ten minutes. Vertiginous!
