Built by a Swiss company and opened in 1959, the Ulrik gondola or Ulriksbanen is an aerial cableway in Bergen which runs from Haukelandsbakken (44 metres elevation) above Haukeland University Hospital and up to the city's tallest mountain, Ulriken (643 metres elevation). Its length is 1120 meters and the trip takes 7 minutes. The two gondola cars are called Perle (Pearl) and Bruse (Gruff) and each can accommodate 20 passengers. At the top station (620 metres elevation) there is a restaurant, a kiosk and superb views.
