"Taking a Cablecar in the Middle of the Night The Fjellheisen cablecar in Tromsø, which takes you up Mount Floya, operates 24 hours in the summer, when the Arctic sunshine stays with you all night. Whether you're planning to hike or merely to stand and gaze at the view of the mountains, it's a lovely experience. We went up around midnight, just after a blood-red sun had 'set' behind the peaks. By the time the cable car had reached the top, the sun was visible again. Little patches of dirty snow sat in hollows around us, the town of Tromsø spread out below, and the mountain range disappeared invitingly behind (we didn't accept the invitation, but that wasn't the point...)."

Absolutely amazing views of the entire city from every angle! The surrounding area was lovely to walk around, and the weather was perfect during our visit. We also appreciated that there was a restaurant with restrooms available, which made the experience very convenient and comfortable. Spending time here was relaxing and enjoyable, and it’s a perfect spot for sightseeing, taking photos, or just soaking in the atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!

I am very lucky as I paid £74 for a 2 day pass and was treated to 2 nights of spectacular northern lights! The snow was pretty deep and pathways were carved out from humans but the further away from the cafe you get the harder it is to walk but the views are just amazing. I felt my £74 was justified but can imagine people feeling ripped off if the weather is bad up there

expensive for sure but the views at the top are spectacular... Worth every NOK. There is a cafe with a coffee machine and mostly pre made sandwiches and toast. The line moves very fast as each cable car can take about 20-30 people, and has 2 cars in operation.

Great experience ! No wait time for tickets and a quick turn around going up and down the mountain. The views from the top are truly amazing. You can see all over the city and beyond. It also has a great cafe on the top which sells some great food, hot and cold. 5/5 - Highly recommend!

Fabulous to see breathtaking views over Tromso today. Easily accessed by bus 26B, can buy tickets at the entry point for the same price as online. Enjoyed the dry, cold weather - no wind or snow this afternoon. Cafe nice for a hot chocolate, and has a good menu for cakes, toasted sandwiches etc. Quite busy when we were there and not enough tables/chairs for everyone inside, but managed ok.

Very beautiful! I highly recommend taking the staircase up or down and doing the cable for the other direction. If you are looking for a challenge, you can take the Sherpa staircase up and then the cable cart down or vice verse. Very beautiful scenic view. I highly recommend. There’s a very cute cafe located at the top as well and a variety of view points.

The mountain cable car offers absolutely stunning views, making the ride a real highlight. The ascent takes just over two minutes and is already very impressive. At the top, besides the beautiful scenery, you can buy a coffee or something to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. In winter, you need to be careful because it can be slippery, so it’s worth getting crampons for your shoes.

Amazing experience, quite expensive but the views makes it worth it. The view from the top is incredible. We went in December around midday so we got the chance to see it when it was both light and dark. 100% recommend!

This is a nice stop while in Tromso. If you're looking for an easy way to get a great view, this is a good place to come. You do have to pay to take the lift up the mountain, but I think the view was worth it. They take credit cards for the tickets and the cars leave every half an hour, so you may have to wait. It's to access by the busses. The view on the way up is really pretty and then the view at the top is stunning. Go at sunset for a really spectacular view. There is a viewing deck at the top, but you can get better pictures off to the side where there are less people. Once at the top, there's not much to do outside of taking in the view. It does get a bit colder up there than on the ground, so dress accordingly. This is a good place to stop to get a good view in Tromso for very little effort. I definitely recommend taking the little bit of time to come see it!

This is one of the best places for panoramic views of Tromso. The cable car takes about 5 minutes, and it runs once every 15 minutes or so. Pro tip: please check their website especially during the winter months to make sure they are actually open. On our first visit here, we learned the hard way that they were closed due to strong winds.

Beautiful elevated vista views await you at the top of mountain. Also you can spend a good chunk of the day hiking further up the mountain not only getting your steps in for the day but getting even better views the higher you go. At Forty USD for the R/T cable ride seemed a bit steep at first but is definately worth it as the memories and the awesome pictures you will take will provide a lifetime of memories you will cherish.

One of the top attractions here. Worthwhile visit. You can purchase one way ticket and walk the treacherous path down or purchase round trip ticket. Plenty of hiking opportunities at the top.

A long line, we waited :30 to get onto the tram. About 28 people fit into each depending on their size. The views from the top were wonderful. Admission is 3905 kroner for adults, reduced for children & locals. There is a Park at the top, I closed, Restaurant, toilets and the snack bar. Unfortunately the line to go back down was equally long .

We visited this place is 2018. The trip was short but the view made it totally worth it! Once you get to the top, you can walk around but be careful when it's icy. I saw a lot of people slipped (including myself lol). They have a restaurant on top and the food was very good. The building isn't very big so it can get crowded. I don't know how it is now with COVID.

The views, OMG amazing. The trip up is very pricy based on how short the actual ride is. My husband and I braved the cold to see the spectacular views of Tromsø. We also saw some brave souls who hiked/snowshoed their way to the top. We went in February and they had everyone crammed into the cars like sardines. With the COVID outbreak, I'm assuming (I hope anyway) that they are taking less people up per trip. There is a cafeteria style restaurant at the top. We had reindeer sausage and hot coffee for lunch, both delicious. I'm sure the views are just as spectacular in the summer.

Cables, views, and Tromsdalstinden The Fjellheisen Cable Car is a tramway thing that was constructed in 1961 and goes up to a mountain ledge called Storsteinsen that is about 1,400 feet above sea level. Since in Norway many mountains literally rise right out of the sea, 1,400 feet is a whole lot higher than it seems. The trip only takes about four minutes and they pack about two dozens or so people in each of the two cars. Since the trip is so short they can move whole herds of visitors quite quickly. Up on the top the views are spectacular indeed. The city of Tromso is visible as well as fjords, lakes and of course other mountains in the distance. The cable car is not only used to access the great views but once on Storsteinsen it can serve as a starting point for many hikes to the various mountains, including the iconic Tromsdealstinden, which is over 4,000 feet high and can be seen from most of the surrounding area. There is a cute little restaurant on the top where you can get simple food and drinks and a place to warm up if for some obscure reason you actually get cold. An easy and incredibly fun thing to do while in the Tromso area. The cable car starting point is a bit out of the main city but easily reached by bus. It can get a bit crowded at times but there is plenty of room at the top for people to spread out and you will get to meet people from all over the world speaking all kinds of different languages. Because of all the cool views and the great hiking from the top this is definitely one of those places that deserves more than five stars. It just doesn't get any cooler tnan like this.

This is definitely a place where you need clear skies. I ran into a lot of low clouds hanging over Tromso, so it was challenging to get any good photos. Plenty of parking is available. For tourists, it's actually very close to the Arctic Cathedral, so you can certainly plan on visiting both places together.

We went up on the cable car at night to see the city lights and were not disappointed. The view was beautiful. The cable cars have recently been replaced with large new cars, so the ride was smooth. At the top there is a restaurant where I had a waffle with jam. Unpon returning, the staff was kind v enough to call us a taxi. Great adventure within the city.

This is a must activity in Tromso. You can get wonderful Panoramic views of the city. If you are more into a physical excursion, you can walk up or down and take the tram one way. We had a conference meal on the top of the mountain, it was very good. Lump fish with a mash and vegetables. The warm garlic toast was surprising, but good. Service was attentive and friendly. You can get fast food and ice cream from the kiosk outside the dinning room.

Awesome view of the city especially on a sunny day. The views from the top of both the mountains and the city are breathtaking. The ride is expensive but that seems to be the Norwegian standard. The restaurant at the top is also good but pricey. The cafe at the top of the stairs is maybe no my favorite. Go for the experience and the amazing views.

The views from here on a clear day are GRAND! But the building is very small for the number of tourists they attract. The seating is limited and you'll probably have strangers just plop down at your table, which will make the dining experience awkward. The food was very good! They have the classic Northern Norwegian fare, Moose, reindeer, coffee, hot chocolate, cakes, etc. and for being the only thing at the top of the mountain the prices weren't too bad. I was unimpressed by the process of loading and unloading the actual cable car, they don't check anybody's tickets really and there's no real orderly process so even if you've been waiting in the loading area for 20 minutes people who are really pushy and rude will just shove you aside and essentially cut you in line so beware because the cars themselves only hold 28 passengers. Worth doing once but wouldn't shell out the money to do it again.

Bit of a shitshow on the Fjellheisen yesterday. The hot chocolate machine in the cafe at the top was, unlike our immutable spirits, broken. Also, make sure your latte fits in the glass you have chosen for it. To the left are mugs, clearly labeled for use with the coffee bean's rich nectar. To the right, the vessels large enough for the majestic latte. A naïve failure to read the labels will result only in peril. Furthermore, less ambitious bipeds than we might be advised to invest in some weatherproof footwear if they have designs on scaling this beautiful behemoth. But dat view tho! And snow so sparkly! 5/5, would cable car again.

Exepnsive. Very expensive. But then, this is Norway.... great views of Tromsø from the top. It goes up; it comes back down again. It's a cable car...
