A new chairlift that takes guests from Mattesdalen to the top in record time, a new slope and lift in connection with Nintendo Land and also an improved skiing experience in Mattesdalen.
Now it will be even easier to reach the top in Branäs. During the summer, Branäs will build a new express lift, this time from Mattesdalen. This will be the third express lift in Branäs ski resort. Toppexpressen is a step in continued investment in the existing ski area in Mattesdalen, but also an important part of the future project Branäs Syd.
Toppexpressen will be able to transport 2,400 people per hour and in addition to opening up completely new travel routes across Branäs, it will also be a more weather-safe alternative to the Gondola in strong winds. From the village you can easily get to Mattesdalen by slide, either via the lift Stora Knappen or Amundsliften.
The plateau at the top will also be adjusted to optimize the flow of skiers gathered there. Thanks to a new attraction that goes under the Gondola, you will reach both Långsvängen, Storbacken and Branten in an easier way from both Toppexpressen and Gondolen.
The current and the hook
In addition to the Top Expressen, Branäs expands the range in the ski area with a blue slope, Kroken, and an associated tow lift, Strömmen. The news is right next to the children's favorite Nintendo Land.
