Three-Summit Hike in Bergen: Exploring Fjords, Forests, and Coastal Views
Select participants and date
The city of Bergen unfolds beneath you, framed by a maze of islands and kissed by the brisk spray of the North Sea. From the top of Mount Fløien, reachable via a historic funicular that clatters steadily upward, the urban landscape meets wild nature in a seamless horizon. This three-summit hike invites you to traverse the rugged ridges sandalfoot would envy—from Fløien’s leafy crowns, across the winding path to Sandviksfjellet, and finally to the highest peak, Rundemanen, standing at 568 meters above sea level.

Adventure Tips
Bring Layered Clothing
Weather changes rapidly at elevation—pack a waterproof jacket and layers to adjust for wind, rain, and sun.
Wear Sturdy Hiking Shoes
The trail includes uneven terrain and elevation gains around 400 meters, so traction and ankle support are important.
Stay Hydrated
Carry at least 1 liter of water, especially in warmer months, as few refilling points exist along the trail.
Plan Funicular Ticket Purchase
Your tour price includes a return ticket on Bergen’s Fløibanen funicular, which starts and ends the hike.
