Activities in Bergen

Surrounded by seven mountains, Bergen is ideal for enjoying the beauties of nature.

The city’s seven mountains are the local people’s most popular recreation area. If you take the Fløibanen funicular or the Ulriken cable car up to the mountains, you can walk for hours on marked trails while enjoying panoramic views of the city and the region. Hiking on Bergen's 7 mountains are possible all year round.

One of the most popular walking tours in Bergen is across the plateau from Ulriken to Fløyen. The trip "Panoramic hike across Vidden from Ulriken to Fløyen" includes GPS with all necessary coordinates and tickets for both Ulriken643 and funicular. "Panoramic hike across Vidden from Ulriken to Fløyen" is available from May - September and you can book online.

If you prefer city walks, we suggest you join one of the many fascinating guided walking tours. To stroll through Bryggen’s narrow alleyways and overhanging galleries is to step back into the mists of time and a bygone era.

With Bergen as your base, you can also take part in many different activities, such as fjord and river rafting, kayaking, climbing, abseiling, mountain and glacier walks, cycling trips, fishing or golf.

Whatever your preference, there is plenty of things to do in Bergen all year round!
