What makes Bergen a great hiking destination?
Bergen, located on the southwestern coast of Norway, is a picturesque city surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. With its majestic mountains, fjords, and scenic trails, Bergen offers a unique hiking experience that attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.
If you are up for a challenge, hiking to the top of Ulriken is a must. Standing at 643 meters above sea level, it provides breathtaking panoramic views of Bergen and its surrounding areas. The hike may be steep at times, but the reward is well worth the effort.
Have a local treat that all Norwegians enjoy on hikes - Kvikk Lunsj, known as a «hiking chocolate» that was launched by the Norwegian chocolate sweets manufacturing company, Freia, in 1937.
The hiking experience may take 2-3 hours and then you return to the cable way upper station and take a panoramic gondola ride down to the city and back to the pier.
