Experience Gaustatoppen from the inside with a cable car that runs in a tunnel inside the Gausta-top, from the foot of the mountain up to around 1800 meters above sea level.
Krossobanen
Enjoy the view from the top of the Krossobanen, Northern Europe's first cable car - and don't miss the Solstien at the foot of Hardangervidda.
Bungee Jumping in Vemorkjuvet
Ready for some adrenaline? Try bungee jumping from the bridge and down into the 84-meter deep Vemork Gorge.
Dresinsykling
See DF Ammonia at Mæl Station, and cycle on a rail bike along the Rjukan Railway - a rare and wonderful experience.
