Summer chairlift
The Myrkdal Express takes you high into the mountains in no time.
About the Myrkdal Express
This product is only available during summer. Booking for summer 2026 will open in the spring.
The chairlift is located right next to Myrkdalen Hotel and takes you up to 860 meters above sea level in just five minutes. From there, you'll find excellent hiking opportunities, or you can simply walk down to Vetlebotn Mountain Lodge for a nice lunch.
If you're aiming for a mountain summit, we recommend Finnbunuten, which is 1358 meters above sea level. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of well-known glaciers like Hardangerjøkulen, Jostedalsbreen, and Folgefonna from the top.
A shorter option is to hike to the idyllic Mørkvesstølen. Along the way, you'll pass beautiful river pools, perfect for a refreshing swim on warm summer days.
