Exploring Bergen’s Natural Treasures

Bergen is often called the gateway to the fjords, but it’s also a city surrounded by seven mountains, each offering a different perspective on this rugged landscape. The Bergen Magical Nature Tour takes you atop Fløyen, one of the most accessible and scenic of these peaks. Starting in the city center, you’ll hop on the famous Fløibanen funicular, whisking you up the steep slopes in about 10 minutes. The ride alone is a highlight, providing sweeping views of the city and harbor, setting the perfect scene for your adventure.

Once at the top of Fløyen, you’ll be greeted with panoramic vistas that stretch across Bergen, its colorful rooftops, the fjord, and surrounding mountains. These views are the perfect backdrop for a walk tailored to your preferences. From here, your guide will lead you through hidden trails—not the crowded tourist paths but quiet, scenic routes that reveal the mountain’s serene lakes, lush forests, and wildlife.

The trails are well-chosen to suit different fitness levels. Some might prefer a relaxed walk, soaking in the scenery and listening to stories about the local flora and fauna. Others might opt for a more energetic hike, exploring steep trails that challenge your stamina. Reviewers highlight guides like Tamara, who are knowledgeable, warm, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.
