Rising imposingly above Bergen, Ulriken stands as the highest of the seven mountains ringing the city. Make your way to the top, 643 m (2,110 ft) above sea level, for a sweeping view over the city, its harbor, and the surrounding mountains. Ascend via the network of rugged mountain trails or by taking the cable car that runs from the city center to the peak. Alternatively, hop aboard a shuttle bus from Bergen, which departs from the city's tourist information office. Once you arrive at the top, take advantage of the free telescopes to get a closer view of the landscape.

Stunning views from the top, but check the weather before going as it can be very different up there! Easy to get to although the last '8 minute walk' from the light railway is all uphill. Very...

Very nice place. From the top I have seen amazing pictures of Norwegian fjords and mountains. I reached the summit with cable car line. New renovated gondola!

Great view - you can either hike up or get the cable car. There is a small restaurant at the top. The walk from the top to Floyen is about 15km and takes 5 hours if you are not an experienced mountain top walker. The first part of the trek is a bit confusing to follow as it is only signposted by small poles and you're going away from the end destination. Once you're along the ridge, it's easier to follow the tors. The terrain is quite rocky and lots of small ups and downs - you want waterproof, sturdy walking shoes and even then, it's not an easy walk. However, many locals will race past you and make the walk (or they might be running) look a breeze!

Absolutely amazing place. Can recommend hiking up to this mountain instead of using a cable-car, especially if the weather is nice. Even as fat person as me could climb to the mountain in 1.5 hours without any issues. The views are rewarding.

I was hiking to Ulriken from Blåmanen, yes I gotta admit it was a bit too much to go and took a lot of time and energy. But still I have no regret to hike here, it was beautiful and fun.

One of the best spots in Bergen. Amazing view. It beautiful. You can take the cable car which takes app. 5 mins. Highly highly recommended😊✌️👍

We did a hike late March. We took a rather long one. It was amaaaaazing though kinda hard at some point. We may have lost the path so we just tried to go up. There was some snow (well, when you don't have the adequate gear, it can seem a lot) which made the hike harder than it should've been. Still, it was amazing and I would totally recommend going up mount Ulriken in the longest and hardest way possible ^^ it's more fun 😊
