Norsjö ropeway

The Norsjö ropeway extends for 13.2 kilometers between Örträsk and Mensträsk, making it the longest aerial passenger cable system in Sweden.

From 1943 to 1987, this ropeway transported 12 million tons of mineral concentrates, including copper, lead, zinc, sulfur, silver, and gold.

The preservation society maintains Section IV of the original industrial ropeway, transforming it from a mineral transport system into a passenger attraction.

Each cabin accommodates four passengers and travels at 10 kilometers per hour, with a complete one-way journey taking one hour and 45 minutes.

Three kilometers of the journey passes directly above lakes and streams, offering passengers an extended crossing over Swedish water bodies.
