We had a bit of trouble finding the way to the cable car. It's not well signposted and through a residential area. There was only a short queue to go up. The views from the top were amazing. There's a coffee shop and toilets at the top too.
Very expensive at ~£60 a head for a return ride for 4 minutes of travel time a single way. Great views for sure. Cafe on the top rammed and very expensive and poor quality. Not enough seating but then there is no competition. Not good value for money in any shape or form but they have you over a barrel.
Very exxy for a cable car ride. View was fantastic but icy so it wasn’t safe to walk around without crampons. Can get great views walking around the city anyway so - not sure it’s worth the extreme price. Cafe is fairly basic. Be warned - they do not offer refunds for bad weather. Only rebooking credit within 90days. Strong winds shut it down for half the day on Christmas 2025. Seems likely it gets shutdown frequently with no refund options for tourists. That part feels like unethical business practice to me.
Avoid booking this trip - the cost in my opinion is an absolute rip off. The organised trip used normal Tromso taxis, and the amount charged for a 10 minute taxi trip to the cable car (from central Tromso) is extortionate. To make matters worse, the guide did not accompany us, and the taxi to collect us did not arrive - over 30 mins late standing in the freezing cold. We had to chase the taxi by speaking to other local drivers. Please take my advice, and book an uber or the shuttle bus (two of which departed whilst we were waiting). The cable car and views from the top are amazing, and definetly worth doing. Just DONT use this transfer service. Not recommended under any circumstances.
The tour operator did not show up. There has been no response from them even now. I've not received any word on the refund yet.
Cable car up and down was ok but packed like sardines in a can with only 2 cars operating. No information at the top to tell you anything about the city, history, who and when it was built. A very small cafe at the top with limited seating but great views over northern Norway and the fjords. My negative is nothing at the bottom with regard to food, coffee, seating while you’re waiting for the transfer bus. Nice view but poorly thought out!
I am not writing this to be posted but to communicate with Viator. The rain, no visibility, school field trip with kids trapped inside because of weather!, outrageous prices for beverages. None of this is under your control but didn't help with the level of frustration we were experiencing because when we got to the ticket booth the bar code on our ticket was not accepted. They wanted a QR code. I scoured all my paperwork and never found a QR code. We finally had to buy tickets so the experience wasn't a total waste. It was my fault that I didn't write down the meeting place and having no internet on the day of the tour I had no idea how to get to the Cable Car. We finally took a cab. However I was very impressed and appreciative of the group in charge of the shuttle that we should have been on. They called me and provided great information and follow through. The lady's name is Anne I have been booking tours with Viator and have recommended you to many as we had always had great experiences. This was not one of them!!
Our guide was really informative and helpful. We went by taxi to the cable car (only a short journey). The cable car took about 10 mins to the top. The day I went it was very cloudy and started snowing. We were at the top for about 2 hrs and the cloud eventually disappeared for some fantastic views. The cafe was really good drinks and snacks. It's was a really good little trip. Our guide was really chatty and very friendly. The taxi took us back to the puck up point.
On the first occasion we walked to the cable car which was over the bridge from our hotel to find it was shut for the day due to high winds,we got the website to check to see when it was open and thankfully the next day it was. There was a bit of a queue when we arrived but after 30 minutes we was in the cable car going up. Spectacular views on the way up and down and also when you arrive to the top in the viewings areas. Got a drink from the cafe when at the top which was a bit of a wait and trying to find a seat was a nightmare but overall a good experience
The service provider did not pick us up at the pick up point and viator will not help get my refund.
We went at midday in December so we had some light. Excellent views. Very cloudy when we went. I am sure if the day is clear this is perfect. Buy ticket in advance online to avoid lines.
This is absolutely amazing. I went with my 12 year old daughter. We bought tickets when we arrived total cost 550 NOK for a return. We arrived around 1pm and left 3.15 When we got to the top we immediately went outside and went on the mountain taking in the view and playing in the snow. After about an hour and a half we went into the cafe. It was busy but we got a table within 15-20 minutes We had 2 hot chocolates, a slice of cake and a packet of crisp for 270 NOK This is a must if your visiting tromso. On a separate note we got bus 28 from Tromso 40 NOK and number 26 back 40 NOK Bargain
No one's fault but this was part of Cruise Ship tour, thick fog and we couldn't see anything from the top. Could see the Cathedral as we came back down and I'm sure on a clear day it would be stunning. Small cafe at the top and a nicely built viewing platform.
Beautiful, even more snow! Stunning view. Worth every penny. Walk the mountain, don't just stay around the coffee shop. Enjoy walking in the snow or mountain if it is not snowing.
Good service as it was quick and easy, but we made a mistake with the booking as we typed for a family (2 adults and 2 children) plus one adult instead of just 3 adults, but the employee told us she couldn't do anything…. Bar with panoramic view and very kind waitress. Excellent coffee served. We were surprised by the lack of protective fences... help! The place is stratospheric. Beautiful view ….
The Tromso Cable Car or Fjellheisen is one of the main tourist attractions in Tromso. It has a beautiful view of the city, and at night it is possible to observe the Northern Lights, the cable car viewpoint also has a cafe. I recommend going at night to see the Auroras.
