One day adventures
Spend a day exploring this historical city and the beautiful nature surrounding it. There are plenty of options to choose from. Here is a small selection of excursion that will take no more than a day to do.
GUIDED TOUR ACROSS VIDDEN
Two mountains in one tour! Hike across the Vidden plateau accompanied by a guide from Norway Mountain Guides. The stretch across Vidden is 13 km, if you take the cable car up Mt. Ulriken, and the funicular down Mt. Fløyen. Afterwards, you’ll feel like a true Bergen patriot (Bergenser).
Mt. Ulriken is the tallest mountain in Bergen at 643 meters, and Mt. Fløyen is 300 meters. The hike will give you beautiful views of the city and the city fjord. The guide will safely take you across the mountains, and can also tell you a lot about Bergen, Norway, and of course Norwegian outdoor pursuits.
NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL
Experience one of Norway’s most popular round trips; Norway in a nutshell. The trip takes nine hours, and comprises a fjord cruise on the Nærøyfjord, the Bergen Railway and Flåm Railway. The Nærøyfjord is one of the narrowest fjords in Europe, and is surrounded by tall mountains, a beautiful sight in the summer.
The tour starts from the railway station in Bergen with a beautiful trip on the Bergen Railway from Bergen to Voss. At the railway station in Voss, you’ll find the bus that will take you to Gudvangen. Once you have arrived in Gudvangen innermost in the Nærøyfjord, you board the boat that will take you to Flåm, a charming small village.
