Hangursbanen

The Hangursbanen cable car system extends 1,126 meters in length, reaching an elevation of 660 meters above sea level at its summit station.

Engineers from Switzerland collaborated with Hordaland Mekaniske Verksted to construct the original Hangursbanen system, which began operations in 1963.

The cable cars received names Dinglo and Danglo, reflecting the Norwegian term 'dingling' which describes their side-to-side movement during transit.

The modern gondola system contains nine cabins that transport 35 passengers each, completing the journey from Voss Station to Hangurstoppen in nine minutes.

The Hangurstoppen Restaurant at the upper station contains 310 seats and features large windows displaying mountains Gråsida, Hordnalsnuten, and Lønahorgi.
