Tour description

Ride the gondola to the top of Hanguren mountain, which sits 818 meters above sea level overlooking the mountain village of Voss.
In just 10 minutes, the gondola takes you from the center of Voss to panoramic views of the Norwegian landscape beneath you. See the shimmering waters of Vangsvatnet lake, valleys in both directions, and snow-capped mountain peaks stretching to the horizon.
At the top, step onto the Panoramic Trail, an easy 900-meter mountain walk suitable for everyone. The path winds through classic Norwegian alpine surroundings. Find the hilltop swing along the way to pause, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and swing out over the 360-degree views of Voss and the top of Hanguren.
When you're ready to warm up, head inside Hangurstoppen Restaurant and settle in for "Planken". You’ll get a generous platter of fine cheeses, cured salamis, Greek olives, and mixed dried fruits. It's a relaxed way to round off the experience, with floor-to-ceiling mountain views as your backdrop.
One of the most unique things to do in Voss, Norway - perfect for families, couples, and groups.
