About This Adventure

Embark on a private guided hike to the summit of Mt. Ulriken, Bergen's highest peak, where breathtaking panoramic views await. Explore serene local trails away from the crowds, and enjoy the stunning fjord landscape. This unique experience combines adventure, nature, and the charm of Bergen, tailored to your pace and preferences.

Enjoy spectacular scenery and mountain terrain hiking high above the city. From the summit, you can enjoy magnificent views of Bergen and the surrounding area – the sea, the islands, and the mountains.

When you visit Fjord Norway and Bergen you must see the beautiful landscape from above. Take the gondola up to Mt. Ulriken and join a fantastic hiking trail that runs in varied terrain.

Mount Ulriken is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Bergen, but we will take you on local trails to show you the beauty of the area. Few visitors find their way here, and we believe you will appreciate exploring off the beaten path while still experiencing Ulriken itself.
