Cut the cable for a great roller coaster – you can't spell funicular without fun!

The #Bergen funicular #railway Fløibanen just before the change to the second generation of cars, which happened in 1950. From the city center to the top of nearby Mount Fløyen, the line is less than a kilometer, but covers a height difference of 300 meters. In 2026 it serves two million passengers per year.

Taking the Bergensbanen #railway to the mountains at #Easter used to be so popular that it was unthinkable to bring your skis with you the train. But you could register them on the station and have them be numbered for pickup.

10 461 pairs of skis had been controlled from Easter Tuesday to Wednesday at the Bergen train station.
