Fløibanen Funicular in Bergen is one of Norway´s most popular attractions. From the ground station, located only a few minutes’ walk from the Fishmarket, the funicular brings you to the top of Mount Fløyen in a couple of minutes. April 1. 2022 it finally reopened after a 6 months major refurbishment. The track has been expanded, new and larger wagons or funiculars have been installed and the five stations along the route now has an universal design which make access for wheelchairs much easier. Fløibanen first opened in 1918 and became a very popular attraction in Bergen, bringing the inhabitants up to Mount Fløyen. Here was a huge restaurant and a lot of hiking routes and tracks for the population in Bergen to explore. The restaurant is still there, together with a cafe, kiosk, souvenir shop, several playgrounds for kids and a network of roads and hiking tracks - and of course viewing platforms with an amazing view of Bergen. The new funiculars is the fifth generation and is 5 meters longer than the previous ones (16.59 meter total length) and weighs 21 tons. Each of them can accommodate 120 guests, which is 20 more than the last ones. The first wagons which was installed in 1918 could bring 65 passengers to the top. The increased capacity is much needed, especially on days with cruise visits when the queues are long. Like its predecessors, the funiculars has a glass roof, which makes the journey up and down spectacular. In addition to the funiculars, the stations along the route and the top and ground station has had an important makeover. Now all of them are accessible for wheelchair users. The track at the top has been expanded so that wheelchairs and trolleys now have direct access to Mount Fløyen without facing stairs or elevators. Fløibanen Funicular is open each day until 11 pm. In weekdays it starts up at 7.30 am and in weekends at 9.00 am.
