2024/06
Norway
Photo 1: The modern Romsdalsgondolen cable car starts from the centre of Åndalsnes up to the Nesaksla summit - the gateway to the Romsdalseggen ridge. Opened in 2021, the ride takes just 5 minutes.
Photo 2: View of the steep Nesaksla peak with the cable car and the Romsdalsgondolen building. From here begins the adventurous hike to Mjølvafjellet. Nesaksla (715 m) is one of the landmarks of Åndalsnes.
