Glass Elevator – Arendal’s Sky-High Viewpoint

In just a few seconds, you rise from the city centre to one of Arendal’s most stunning viewpoints – with panoramic views of Galtesund, Hisøy, Tromøy, and the beautiful southern coast.

The elevator itself is an attraction: it travels 40 metres through the mountain before emerging in a 20-metre-high glass shaft, offering spectacular views as you ascend.
The ride is free every day from 06:00 to 22:00.

At the top, you can explore several viewpoints on Fløyheia – or simply enjoy the scenery of the city, the sea, and the sky reflected in Galtesund.
