Rjukan · Kristiansand, Telemark & the south · Norway
★★★☆☆ View & landmark
Gaustatoppen & Rjukan does not publish a fixed price, so this site will not invent one. Check the official page below.
A summit from which a sixth of mainland Norway is visible on a clear day, reached either by a two-hour walk or by a tram running INSIDE the mountain, built for NATO. Rjukan below is UNESCO listed for its hydroelectric works and gets no direct sun for half the year - so they put mirrors on the mountainside to reflect it into the square.

The planner warns of freezing in January, February, December. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
Short days. Kristiansand, Telemark & the south gives under 6 hours of daylight in December.
