From my recent trip to Trondheim, Norway. More information on the lift is available at several locations, including the official page and wikipedia.
The top of the lift
This is where the lift gets you. You also have a chance to see the distance that it saves you (though it does not really capture the slope, which is higher than the one implied by this image).
The bottom of the lift
Place the right foot on the "pedal", enter your card in the machine and off you go.
