Summer chairlift
Take the Myrkdalsekspressen and reach the mountains in no time!
Om Myrkdalsekspressen
The chairlift is located right next to Myrkdalen Hotel and takes you up to 860 meters above sea level in just five minutes. From there, you can continue on beautiful hiking trails or take a short walk down to Fjellstova Vetlebotn for a delicious lunch.
If you’re looking for a summit hike, we recommend Finnbunuten at 1,358 meters above sea level. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of famous glaciers like Hardangerjøkulen, Jostedalsbreen, and Folgefonna.
For a shorter hike, head to the idyllic Mørkvesstølen. Along the trail, you’ll find crystal-clear river pools—perfect for a refreshing swim on warm summer days.
The lift runs daily from July 4th to August 17th, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
