Highlights
  • BlÃ¥manen - This hike is a must-do if you want to get the most out of your visit to Bergen. It is a medium 3 hour hike away from the crowds with great views of Bergen and the surrounding area. We hike literally on top of Bergen and go off the beaten track through woods, past lakes, and on paths where we can hear the silence.

The hike requires some experience of hiking and has a medium difficulty level. Most of the hike is in uneven terrain that may be wet, so proper hiking shoes are required.

You meet our guide in the centre of Bergen and make your way to the top of Mt Flöyen where the real hike starts. Above Mt Flöyen our guide will take you through untouched terrain, reaching some higher summits with amazing views of Bergen and the ocean surrounding it. Our guide is local and will be able to tell you about Norwegian culture, habits and history.

After hiking for about 3 hours we will return to the town centre of Bergen and you can spend the rest of the day exploring Bergen town.

Exhilarating and challenging hike! - Our hike was led by Thor and it was incredible! This was an excursion from a cruise ship and tour company allowed us to form a group based upon hiking experiences and abilities. As strong hikers we went all the way to the top and then across. It was perfection! We had great weather, great hiking and a great guide! It is SO important to the overall experience to have hikers with similar abilities.

Hello Sheep - We weren't sure we'd make it up to where the sheep were grazing, but we did! Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and flexible clothing - at times it didn't seem like there was a path at all, but our guide knew the way and we had a great time. Our 50+ year old knees and calves hurt for a few days but we would do it again in a heartbeat (besides, we were going home the next day!).

Amazing Guides - Used Norway Mountain guides with my family in Bergen and two of their guides took us on an absolutely beautiful hike! The guides were incredibly kind and accommodating as well as super knowledgeable about Bergen fun facts and mountain trails. I highly recommend booking a hiking tour with them and seeing all the beauty that Norway has to offer!

Wonderful hike in Bergen! - We went on the Top of Bergen hike with Jon before our cruise to Iceland. Such a great hike tailored to our abilities and included beautiful views. Jon was so knowledgeable about the Bergen area as well as Norway in general. We feel that he went above and beyond and loved the reindeer sausage and muesli bars he brought for snacks. This was our first day in Bergen and could not have been better. Jon made the hike so much fun!

Great views and a lovely well organised hike - We did this hike as a cruise excursion organised by Silversea. Our guide was Norman and he was great and full of interesting information. We started by walking to the funicular then hiking from the top of the lift on a marked trail. The hike was not demanding though there were some uphill sections. We are a reasonably fit couple in our late 60s and we managed it easily. The organisation and timekeeping was excellent and I would definitely use this company again

Excellent guiding and guides - We were fortunate enough that Silversea Cruises used Norway Mountain Guides for their included short hike On Top of Bergen. Frank and his team were excellent and our guide Normann was entertaining, enthusiastic and still very caring of us as a group ensuring we were all ok at all times. We would without doubt avail of their services again when in Bergen. Thanks Frank and Normann for a memorable morning.

Highlight of our trip to Norway - My wife and I had the great pleasure of a personal hike with Frank earlier this week. What an uber fantastic way to see Bergen and its surrounds and to learn more than just the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the way Frank gave us much more than the tourist book overview of Bergen and Norway. Definitely one of our highlights in Scandinavia. Can't wait to return with entire family and have Frank lead us around again.
