Ulriksbanen

Ulriksbanen, branded as Ulriken643, in reference to the height of Mount Ulriken, opened with a new cable car (50 person capacity) and new bigger Skyskraperen restaurant in October 2021.

On 9 July, one of the cable cars detached and fell to the ground, killing four.

The local department of the Norwegian Mountain Touring Association took over the operation in 1983, but was forced to close in 1988 and 1989 due to a lack of funds.

[1] On 4 March 2006, it was reopened,[2] continuing to operate until August the same year when the police was forced to close the tramway after a safety inspection.

[4] In January 2008, the tramway was again shut down due to fears that the cables could be too damaged for Ulriksbanen to operate safely.
