Hangursbanen

Hangursbanen

Hangursbanen is a gondol cable car that lies in Voss, Norway and is 1126 meters long and has a top altitude of 660 above sealevel. It is owned and run by Voss Fjellheisar AS, a local skiresort in Voss.

The cable car goes from ca 500 meters from the trainstation at Voss, up to the Hangursrestaurant, which is in the same building as the cable car top station.

The cable car goes winter, in skisport-season and summertime.There are two gondolas on the lines, Dinglo (red) og Danglo (blue), which goes on each own side, but on the same cable. When one is at top, the other one is at the bottom. The names they have did they inherit because of the swaying from side to side which is "dingling" in Norwegian slang.

History

Hangursbanen was built in 1963 by Hordaland Mekaniske Verksted and Swiss engineers.
