Gondolen

Gondolen, Gondola lift in Åre Municipality, Sweden.

Gondolen is a detachable gondola lift built by the French company Poma, running 1,610 metres from the VM-platån station at 827 metres to the top station at 1,274 metres on Åreskutan. Its 56 cabins, supplied by Leitner for the 2018/19 season, each hold twelve people but carry at most eleven. The line has 21 towers and a 52 mm cable weighing 32 tonnes.

Gondolen began operating in 1989 and was an important advancement for the Åre ski resort. This development made it possible for many more people to reach the higher slopes.

The lift was inaugurated on 3 March 1989 by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and was first called Olympiatoppen. It was later renamed Olympiagondolen and has been known as Gondolen since 2008. Since 2007 it has also run in summer for Åre Bike Park, carrying up to four mountain bikers per cabin.

The cable car runs up and down the mountain regularly in winter for skiers and in summer for hikers. Expect different conditions depending on the season and bring appropriate gear for your visit.

The top station at 1,274 metres is Sweden's highest lift-served point, and the bottom station sits on the VM plateau at 827 metres. Since 2007 the lift also runs in summer for Åre Bike Park, carrying up to four mountain bikes per cabin.
