What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the unique experience of riding Europe's northernmost tram and the beautiful lake scenery at the terminus. However, the ticketing system requiring an app and credit card, along with the very limited hours of the tram museum, are common points of frustration for tourists.
"That’s cool!"

"Europe's northernmost tram company. Beautiful lake at the terminus. It's a shame that the beautifully situated hotel went bankrupt during the coronavirus pandemic. The terminus is 235 meters above sea level, and the line is 8.8 km long. It's a shame that the accompanying tram museum halfway along the route is only open on Sundays from 12:00 to 4:00 PM at the end of August; apparently, that's typically Norwegian... Norwegian school holidays are over: everything is closed or has limited opening hours!"
Frank
"A ride on the northernmost tram in the world.
Important for tourists:
There are no ticket machines. With a foreign mobile number, a ticket can only be purchased using the ATB app and credit card.
The associated museum was unfortunately closed."
