The walk is from Mt Ulriken to Mt Fløyen. Starting from Mt Ulriken makes for an easier walk, and you get great views of Bergen and the Byfjord. Mt Ulriken is the highest mountain in Bergen at 643 meters, and our destination is Mt Fløyen, which is 300 meters. The guide takes you safely over the mountains, and brings a comprehensive first-aid kit, GPS and map in case the weather will change. On the way, you will learn about Bergen and Norway, and, not least, about Norwegian outdoor pursuits.

On this trip you will see all the 7 mountains around Bergen and walk between the two most famous peaks.

Meeting point: In front of the Tourist information in Bergen, Strandgaten 3, 5012 Bergen. !Description of image

Don’t forget that the weather changes quickly, proper clothes and shoes are important. The walk takes you up to an elevation hundreds of meters above the city center, where it is normally quite a lot colder than in the center. We don’t follow a road, but a trail the whole way. The terrain is undulating, but it is not heavy-going. There are some steep sections, but no exposed parts. The path can be wet and muddy. When we arrive at our destination, Mt Fløyen, you can walk or take the Fløibanen funicular back down to the city center.

This walk is a must to be able to call yourself a ‘Bergenser’ or Bergen patriot. We guarantee you a lovely and safe walk, in good company and not least, high spirits!

Important: Note that this a hard hiking tour.

15 kilometers is a good distance, so you need to be in good shape, and have hiking experience from mixed terrain to do the walk. If you’re in doubt, get in touch with us.

If you are in doubt about whether you can complete this trip with a profit, we recommend that you book the trip On Top of Bergen which gives some of the same view of the mountains and the sea. Other walks available: Bergen Panorama , Fjord Hiking, Island hiking.

To book: The hike can be booked until 24 hours before. For last minute – call us.
