New Norwegian Gondola at Trysil

Norway's largest ski resort, Trysil, is set to unveil a new state-of-the-art gondola for the 2025/26 winter season.
Climbing 2,460 metres from the children's area Eventyr to just north of the Hesten lift base, the Trysil gondola will carry up to 3,000 skiers per hour in 81 cabins, each seating 10 passengers.
The project marks the single largest investment in the resort's history and includes upgrades to snowmaking infrastructure and slope development around the Eventyr zone.
The ski area is run by Scandinavia's largest resort operator SkiStar, whose CEO Stefan Sjöstrand describes the gondola as "an investment for the future" that will reduce wait times and enhance accessibility for families, beginners and seasoned skiers alike.
The lift is expected to operate during winter initially, with summer biking and hiking trail adaptations to connect to it planned for 2026.
Located in eastern Norway near the Swedish border, Trysil is renowned for its wide, well-groomed pistes, family-friendly terrain and ski-in/ski-out accommodation. With over 70 kilometres of slopes and a vibrant après-ski scene, it caters to all levels—from first-timers to freeride enthusiasts.
