The Narvikfjellet top station is completes the first stage of the Narvik Arctic Resort development and is the mountain top station for the new gondola on the top point of the ski slopes. Narvikfjellet is a ski resort close to the Narvik city centre and characterised by one of the steepest height to length ratios - from a 1000 meter above sea level down to the sea - and offers some amazing scenery with the view out the Ofoten fiord to the World Heritage area of Lofoten. The design forms part of the overall design philosophy of the Narvik Arctic Resort which seeks to express a connection between the city's industrial history and the surrounding dramatic nature. Narvik is shipping-port for the rail and ship transportation of iron ore, represented in the black metal cladding and shaping of the buildings of the resort and the forested mountains represented in the wooden interiors.
