Take Bergen´s cablecar

The Ulriken cablecar is a popular tourist attraction in Bergen, Norway. Located near the seven mountains that surround the city, tourists can take advantage of this mode of transport to get an amazing bird’s eye view of the beautiful fjords and lush countryside. The cablecar takes visitors up to Mt. Ulriken, which stands at 643 meters above sea level – giving them a truly spectacular panoramic experience from one of highest points in the area.

The ride itself is enjoyable and provides riders with plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and taking pictures. It travels parallel to two other Bergen attractions: Floibanen Funicular and Mount Floyen. Unlike many other cablecars around the world, this one has no intermediate stops along its route – making it unique among its peers for its smooth journey up to the peak of Mt Ulriken.

Went for a 6 km hike there on a rainy day. There were first aid kits at the paths. To top of ulriken there was a clearly marked path, but from there on further there mostly was not clear path but steel poles every few hundred meters. The view was amazing. Even snow-topped mountains in the far horizon.

Amazing trip, the cable car is worth it. The views are stunning. We took the Ulriken express to the cable car, they have an option to pay for both the bus and the cable car. It works out about €53.80 for both tickets on a round trip.

On Princess Cruise tour. The cable car was to a great view because it was a clear sunny day. The tour guide assured us this was seldom the case due the fact the Bergen is the rainist city in Europe

It was fun to play in the snow in late March! It was a little slippery, but we rode the cable car up, hiked to Ulrikvarden, then walked down the sherpa stairs. The Cafe at the top is good for a warm drink and food

Gorgeous view from up there, and many trails for hiking lovers. We went up with the cable car, and hiked down on foot. There are also paths for the adventurous type, and for people who want to go for an easier hike.
