Hellesylt: Fjord to Sky. Scenic Escape to Stranda Gondola

Take the scenic drive from Hellesylt to Stranda, ride the Stranda Gondol, and soak in jaw-dropping views over the Sunnmøre Alps and Storfjord. Just pure Norwegian magic.
Duration: 2h 30m.

Start your day in Hellesylt, where roaring waterfalls tumble into sparkling fjords, and nature surrounds you at every turn. As you set off by minibus along the picturesque RV60, pass through lush valleys, crystal-clear rivers, and dramatic mountain landscapes — the very essence of Norwegian beauty.

After a scenic 45-minute drive, arrive in Stranda, a lively fjord town famous for its alpine surroundings and vibrant local culture. Here, the highlight awaits: the Stranda Gondol.

Step into the gondola cabin and glide effortlessly up the mountainside. As you ascend, sweeping views unfold — snow-dusted peaks, the mighty Storfjord stretching far below, and the rugged Sunnmøre Alps stretching into the distance. At the top station, over 1,000 meters above sea level, find yourself immersed in one of Norway’s most stunning panoramic views.

Relax with a coffee or meal at the Fjord Panorama Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows make you feel like you’re floating among the clouds. Whether you’re visiting in summer or winter, the experience promises world-class views, crisp mountain air, and a peaceful escape from the everyday.
