5 activities you can do before or after a meal at Eggen

Are you going to enjoy a meal with us at Eggen Restaurant, but want an activity in addition? Fear not - our mountain has something to offer for all skill levels! Here you will find out a little more about the various opportunities at Nesaksla.

Sharp peaks, lush valleys and emerald green rivers

No matter how you choose to arrive at Eggen Restaurant, we can promise you that it will be an experience. On this list you will find 4 things you can do before or after a meal at Eggen Restaurant.

1. Romsdalsgondolen

Romsdalsgondolen is the fastest way to get to Eggen Restaurant, and an experience in itself. The gondola takes you from 0 to 708 meters of altitude in just 5-7 minutes. At the highest point, you soar a full 100 meters above the ground, and you get a fabulous view of some of the biggest attractions the area has to offer, such as the Trollveggen, Trollstigen, Raumabanen and Rauma River. In addition, you get to take a good look at the military camp Setnesmoen, which is the place where the TV program Kompani Lauritzen was recorded. The cable car departs every hour and half an hour, or more often if necessary, and always has the same opening hours as Eggen Restaurant.

Tip: As the cable car departs every hour and half an hour, it may be a good idea to book a table with us at quarter to quarter or quarter to quarter.

2. Rampedilten

A mountain trip for everyone - and we mean everyone! Rampedilten is our 200 meter long universal ramp that runs all the way from Eggen Restaurant up to Ottarbu at the top of our mountain Nesaksla. Are you weak in the bones? Zero problem. Wheelchair? Perfect for you too! Just enjoy the wonderful mountain air and the view that awaits you. You can find Rampedilten by taking the lift up inside Eggen Restaurant, and exiting via the door at Hemsen. If you want to go on a slightly longer trip, you can also try the "Fole Kort" of 500 meters or the "Kjøre Lang" of 1 kilometer, but these are not universally designed.

Tip: Take parents or grandparents on a mountain trip! Rampedilten is a wonderful experience for those who have not been on the mountain for a while.

3. Rampestreken

The well-known hiking destination Rampestreken is only a 15-20 minute walk from Eggen Restaurant. From the top, you can stroll down the path to reach the lookout point, or you can take on the challenge of walking all the way from the center of Åndalsnes. To Rampestreken, this takes approx. 1.5 hours, and all the way to the top it is wise to calculate 2 hours.

Tip: During the day there can be some queues for the Rampestreken - go for the walk in the evening and combine it with a better dinner with us afterwards.

4. Via Ferrata

If you want to really earn your meal, you can tan yourself on the steep rock face on the south side of the mountain. There are two different routes; Introruta and the West Wall. The introductory route is suitable for families or people with little or no climbing experience.

5. Showshoeing

In winter, you can strap on your snowshoes and go for a tour of Nesaksla. After just a few minutes it feels like you're far up in the mountains - we've even heard "it feels like we're on an expedition!". For more weather, for cooler weather. The snowshoes are rented at the railway station next to the fjord station for the Romsdal gondola.
