Narvikfjellet Gondola & Ski Resort
Narvikfjellet
A cable car runs from the town to a mountain top at 656 metres, offering views over Ofotfjord. In winter it is a ski area where you can ski with the sea in view, and it is also a spot for watching the northern lights.
The Narvikfjellet cable car departs from the foot of the mountain on the southeast side of town and reaches the upper station at about 656 metres in a few minutes. The viewing platform and restaurant overlook the port of Narvik, Ofotfjord and the snow-covered mountains around it. In winter this is a well-known ski resort in northern Norway, with runs that descend toward the fjord, which is why it is described as skiing with a view of the sea. On clear winter nights the cable car operates on certain dates after dark, so you can watch the northern lights from the summit. In summer you can ride up and hike from there, and in June and July you can see the midnight sun. A round-trip ticket costs about 300 to 400 Norwegian kroner, and opening hours change with the seasons.
