Krossobanen

The Ryesvei is an exciting zig-zag path located in the terrain below the Krossobanen Cableway. This outstanding track is open for sledgeriding. The distance from the upper station Gvepseborg down to Krosso is 3851 meters, the difference in altitude approx. 500 meters and it winds down through a total of 21 curves. This makes it the longest sledge-hill (with lift) in Norway.

Fun ride in the Blueberry. Great views. Nice and expensive waffle in the top restaurant. Would have walked down if I had good shoes. Nice hike.

Gaustabanen

Gaustabanen, the cable car inside Gaustatoppen mountain has been a well-kept secret. Gaustabanen consists of a battery driven car on a cable that carries passengers approximately 860 metres horizontally up inside the mountain. Right in the centre of the mountain there is a station, with an angled shuttle line of 1040 metres that rises to 1800 metres above sea level. From the top, there is an exit to the so-called Tuddalstippen, situated right under the Gaustatoppen Tourist Cabin.

Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum

Reviewed By anagP6520XJ - Sydney, Australia

We had a semi guided tour and I found it all very interesting. I wouldn't make a special visit for it but good to see if you are in the area. It is a bit of a mission to get there as it is way up on a hill. There is lots of history. If you cant make it here, just watch the movie "The Heroes of the Telemark" they say it is historically accurate.
