Ulriken643 - Why You Cant Miss The Views On Mount Ulriken In Bergen - ItsAllBee

A couple of weeks ago I shared a post on our exploration of Bergen, Norway or the city between seven mountains as its often referred. Today I am sharing our ride up on the Ulriken643 cable car to check out the Norway Fjords. With seven mountains surrounding the city means there is plenty of adventure waiting to be had. The mountain group includes Mount Ulriken (the highest), Fløyen, Løvstakken and Damsgårdsfjellet, Lyderhorn, Sandviksfjellet, Blåmanen, Rundemanen, and Askøyfjellet.

As we had spent two days hiking and exploring the Trolltunga hike trail, an Ulriken hike was going to be out of the question as our legs still felt like jelly from the 22km hike. On clear days the views offer a stunning panorama over city, fjords and mountains so were not going to pass on the chance to experience it. It was a clear day when we set off, making it a perfect time to head up the mountain. We took the cable and when you arrive at the summit, you are presented with magnificent views of Bergen and the surrounding area – the sea, the islands, fjords and mountains in all there glory.

Mount Ulrikren643 Cable Car

When you visit Bergen you have to option of taking in the views from Mount Floyen via the Floibanen Funicular, or from Mount Ulriken, considering Ulriken is the highest of the mountains we opted to take in the city from there. The journey from the city center is about 10 mins by tram and fairly straightforward. There is also a double-decker tour bus that leaves from the Fish Market in the center of town that comes to Ulriken. We took the tram, the tram stops about a 5-minute uphill walk to the cable cars station up to the summit of Ulriken mountain. Thankfully you don’t have to climb mount Uliriken – unless you want to, there is a cable car speeds from bottom to top in just seven minutes.
