Romsdalsgondolen and Eggen Restaurant

0

Romsdalsgondolen and Eggen Restaurant will soon be visible on the right side. Romsdalsgondolen is Norway's longest gondola lift and possibly the worlds, most sustainable gondola facility. The facility is fully powered by hydroelectricity from the new Verma Power Plant, and during construction, wood and steel were used instead of concrete. With today's modern technology, it was possible to build a gondola without an access road and visible scars in the terrain. A pilot hole was drilled 700 meters from the fjord up to the top. Inside the hole are three pipes, one for water, one for sewage, and one for electricity. The pilot hole is actually a world record since no one has done anything similar on this scale. The restaurant is built on reversible installations. The large wooden building can be dismantled and flown down from the mountain using helicopters without leaving any trace in the terrain. This forward thinking solution is a gift to future generations. They can choose whether to have a building on the mountain or not.
