1. Stoltzekleiven
If you take the trip up Sandviksfjellet to Stoltzekleiven, you will get a panoramic view of Bergen. Stoltzekleiven is built with stone steps with about 800 steps, and is a moderately challenging hike. If you want a real challenge, you can try to beat the record time to the top: 7 minutes and 46 seconds!
2. Zipline from Ulriken
Norway's fastest zipline is found on Ulriken, Bergen's highest city mountain! An airy ride with panoramic views via the 300m long zipline awaits you. The adrenaline-filled ride begins in front of the restaurant at Ulriken and heads towards Fløyfjellet. The ride is safely staffed by instructors, so all passengers get help getting on and off.
3. Fløyenfjellet
If you're tempted by a slightly calmer and more social trip, you can take the classic trip to Fløyfjellet, 400m above sea level. You can reach the top either by an hour's walk up Fløisvingene or with Bergen's pride, the Fløibanen. At the top, you'll find both a kiosk and a restaurant with views over the entire city. Fløyen also has a climbing park for children, a zip-line between trees, and canoe rental at Skomakerdiket.
4. Hike in the city mountains
Fløyen is also a very good starting point for longer hikes in the city mountains. Revurtjern is a family-friendly destination at 4.5 km and a couple of hours' walk. For the fittest, the hike over the ridge to Ulriken is nice. The hike takes about 5-6 hours and is almost two miles - a fantastic opportunity to experience the City Mountains!
