Hangursbanen, Aerial tramway in Voss, Norway
Hangursbanen is an aerial tramway that carries visitors from central Voss up to Hangurstoppen, a mountain station with far-reaching views. The system operates with modern cabins designed for passenger comfort on this relatively short journey.
The tramway was constructed in the early 1960s through a collaboration between Swiss engineers and local Norwegian craftsmen. It has since remained a connection between Voss and the mountain station for locals and travelers alike.
The cable cars received names Dinglo and Danglo, reflecting the Norwegian term 'dingling' which describes their side-to-side movement during transit.
The journey up is brief and straightforward, suitable for travelers wanting quick access to mountain views. At the top, visitors find dining options and viewpoints to enjoy the surroundings.
The Hangurstoppen Restaurant at the upper station contains 310 seats and features large windows displaying mountains Gråsida, Hordnalsnuten, and Lønahorgi.
