Hotels near Mount Ulriken

At 643 metres Mount Ulriken is the tallest of Bergen's 7 surrounding peaks and arguably the better view than Fløyen - higher, less crowded, and with a sweeping panorama that includes the Bergen archipelago. The Ulriken643 cable car climbs from Haukeland in 7 minutes, dropping passengers at the summit restaurant and TV transmitter. Round-trip ticket 280 NOK adults.

Most hikers do the Vidden ridge trail from Ulriken to Fløyen - 14 km, 4-5 hours one way, no shelter, well-marked but exposed to wind and rain. Wear hiking boots and bring water and waterproofs even in summer. Easier option is the 90-minute round trip from the cable car station to the trig point. Restaurant SkyskrAperen at the summit serves a 320 NOK two-course lunch.

Pro Tip: The included bus-and-cable-car combo ticket (385 NOK) from the Bergen tourist office at Torget includes the shuttle bus to the cable car station - significantly cheaper than taxi (350 NOK each way) if you don't have a Bergen Card.
