Bergtatt's mining operations since 1938 have carved 40 kilometres of tunnels across eleven levels into the mountain. In parts of it, marble extraction continues to this day, but the older galleries have become something entirely different: an underground world of polished stone, crystal-clear water, and remarkable acoustics.
The highlight is a boat ride on a subterranean lake, 190 metres inside the mountain. The water is spring-fed, clean enough to drink, and so clear that the marble walls seem to continue below the surface. Guides who are experienced miners share stories of decades of work underground.
One of the larger halls has been turned into a concert venue seating 300 people. Surrounded by marble on all sides, the natural acoustics make it one of Norway's most unusual performance spaces. A 100% weather-proof attraction, and fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
