Norway Mountain Guides

This hike is a must-do if you want to get the most out of your visit to Bergen. It is a medium 3+ hours hike away from the crowds with great views of Bergen and the surrounding area.

We hike literally on top of Bergen and go off the beaten track through woods, past lakes, and on paths where we can feel the silence. The view is comparable to the view from Bergen Classic, but the tour is shorter and easier.

Key facts:

• Duration: 3 – 4 hours
• Level: Medium
• Distance: 4 – 9 km
• Elevation: 300 – 600 
• Terrain: Uneven and rocky. Partly wet soil/bog
• Requires a minimum of 3 participants. Does not need to be from the same booking/agent

You meet our guide in the center of Bergen by the official tourist information. First a short introduction and safety brief before we walk thru the fish market and make our way to the top of Mt Fløyen by the funicular Fløybanen, where the real hike starts.

Above Mt Fløyen our guide will take you through untouched terrain, reaching some higher summits with amazing views of Bergen and the ocean surrounding it. Norway Mountain Guides are local and will be able to tell you about Norwegian culture, habits, and history.
