What to expect:
Preparation and departure
Your driver-guide will meet you at your accommodation in Bergen city center. Before we head out, we’ll have a quick chat about the weather and ensure everyone has suitable clothing and footwear. If you are unsure what to wear, don’t worry—we will advise you on the best gear for the day’s conditions.
Finding the perfect trail
Depending on the chosen route, we might start with a short drive (30–45 minutes) to a scenic trailhead, or we might take the Fløibanen funicular up to Mount Fløyen and hike further into the mountain wilderness from there. Our goal is to take you away from the most crowded tourist paths to give you a more authentic nature experience.
The hike to the summit
As we start our ascent, you can expect narrow nature trails and uneven terrain. Some parts might be steep, requiring a bit of effort, but the reward at the top is always worth it. Once we reach the summit, we’ll take a well-deserved break to enjoy the guaranteed gorgeous views of the fjords, the city, and the surrounding peaks. After catching our breath and taking plenty of photos, we head back down, sometimes using a different path to show you even more of the landscape.
