Going up Gaustatoppen: Funicular VS skis | Visit Norway

Tobias and Gabriella are taking on the famous Gaustatoppen mountain, but in two very different ways: While Tobias is strapping on his ski boots and sunscreen, skiing up and down with a local guide, Gabriella is exploring the historical funicular INSIDE the iconic mountain! ⛷️
In any case, a view over 1/6 of Norway and waffles await at 1883 meters above sea level! 🤝
Gaustatoppen is located in Telemark in the middle of Southern Norway and is a very popular hiking destination both in summer and winter. The funicular Gaustabanen was built by NATO in 1959, and holds lots of history. It runs every day from February to October. If skiing, remember to always use a local guide, like Torgeir Urdal in the video! ⛰️
How would you conquer the top: by your own efforts on foot, or James Bond-style with the funicular? Let us know in the comments! 👇

I just can't warm up to Gabriella... She just seems like every standard (boring) american social media influencer. But Tobias, Dag and Katarina are great 👍

[@VisitNorway]

Sorry to hear that! We LOVE her! Give her a fair chance, and in the meantime you can rewatch all the 46 episodes of How to Norway ;)
