  • 5/5 Balkrishna S. 6 months ago on Google • 264 reviews
    It is one of the major tourist attraction in Bergen. There is a special bus leaves from near Tourist Information Office for this attraction every half an hour. Their charges include to and fro transport and the ticket for cable car. It takes about 7/8 minutes in cable car to reach top. The view from top in all direction was just too good. On a clear sunny days one can see miles ahead. One could see entire Bergen city below. We saw few people going for a hike from here on top of adjoining hills. The zipline on top of another hill was very daring. There was a restaurant serving tea/coffee/beer and snacks. Don't miss it...

    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!

    the views from the top was simply amzing. We took the bus from bergen city centre to reach here.. It was quite difficult to locate it as it was 15 to 20mins walking from the bus stop. Once you reach the top, you will not regret and according to me, this was much better than the funicular ( in bergen)

    Incredible, panoramic views of the whole of Bergen can be experienced at the top of Ulriken. You can either hike to the top, or take a quick 5 minutes cable car that costs around €30 for a return trip. There is also a restaurant and cafe up there, and many walking paths to explore further.

    (Translated by Google) It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. There are beautiful views and clear little lakes where you can see the bottom. You can go up in a gondola, or use the trail that you can see in two of my pictures. Upstairs there is a small souvenir shop where you can buy both ice cream and hot drinks. But of course nice souvenirs. There is a toilet and a shower that you can use for free. The tickets for the gondola can be purchased inexpensively on the spot and in the tourist information. It is an experience that I will never forget again and would like to experience again. I can only recommend it. best regards Juliana (Original) Es ist einer der wunderschönsten Orte, an dem ich jemals war. Es gibt wunderschöne Aussichten und klare kleine Seen, in denen man auf den Grund sehen kann. Man kann in einer Gondel hinauf fahren, oder aber den Wanderweg benutzen, den man auch in zweien meiner Bilder sehen kann. Oben gibt es einen kleine Souvenirshop in dem man sowohl Eis, als auch Heißgetränke kaufen kann. Aber natürlich auch schöne Souvenirs. Es gibt eine Toilette und eine Dusche, die man kostenlos benutzen kann. Die Tickets für die Gondel kann man Vorort und in der Touristen Information kostengünstig kaufen. Es ist ein Erlebnis, dass ich nie wieder vergessen werde und gerne wieder erleben würde. Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Liebe Grüße Juliana

    Cable car is very expensive, but driving in it is great experience. View from the top is awesome, and I am not sorry that I go up, climb, for 3 hours. I was exhausted, but content.

    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.

    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 😊

    Beautiful place with great view. Might take a while to get in to the cable car, depending on the time of your visit but is worth the wait. There is a bus available that takes you from the town center to the cable car and the price includes the ride from and to the city and the cable car.

    It’s a beautiful place there. You have a good view over Bergen. A one way ticket cost 20 nok. On the mountain is a lovely cafe/restaurant and restrooms. You have a free water refill. Everything is very clean so place take your waste with you and don’t throw it into the nature.

    Ulriken is the highest of the Seven Mountains that surround the city of Bergen. We took an aerial tramway (Ulriksbanen), as we were visiting with a baby. The trip lasts 5 minutes and costs NOK 365 for a round-trip. With Bergen Card you get a 10% discount. If like us you have a baby that’s less than 2 years old, I strongly recommend to choose Fløyen instead of Ulriken. Mount Fløyen is more kids-friendly and offers a playground on top, which makes a difference for parents!

    If you want a pleasure hike, it’s not. I don’t know, if there is any other safe way up, other then stone stairs. Marks on the trail are not clear so accidentaly we find ourselfs on a bike road. Cable car is expensive. Views are nice, also we met few sheeps.

  • 3/5 Plamen Stefanov Y. 6 months ago on Google • 126 reviews
    Excellent views of the city, and higher than the ones you get from the Fløyen, true, BUT, the fact that there are not many things to do nor places to visit once you're up there makes you have to focus on the views, which are excellent, yes, but... for how long? Also, the round trip with the funicular is not cheap at all, NOK365/per person, and it takes 5min each way (you can do it by foot via the stairs route or the hike).⁷

    Not so much at the top, but from Floya the trek is great. This was my finish point.

  • 5/5 S M r. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing views from the top of Bergen. You can walk up the stairs way if you are in good fit, else can table the cable car up, while you find not only great views but also several paths to continue your journey and discover more of the wilderness of the area of Bergen. There’s also a restaurant at the top to recharge batteries. Recommended!

    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.

  • 5/5 Bobik B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Ulriken is the highest peak in Bergen. It is easy to recognize because there are powerful antennas at the very top, which are illuminated in different colors at night. From the city center we can take buses to the Haukeland hospital or special buses. They are easy to recognize. They leave the center from the Fisch Torget area. Two suspended wagons lead to the very top. Warning! The carriages do not run in bad weather! It remains for us to walk. It takes us about 1.5 hours. I recommend this area in clear weather. Beautiful views are guaranteed. Curiosity !!! A special bicycle path leads from the top, which you can take down to the very bottom. This path is only for professionals! (Original) Ulriken to najwyższy szczyt w Bergen. Łatwo go rozpoznać, bo na samym szczycie są potężne anteny, które w nocy są podświetlane na różne kolory. Z centrum miasta możemy podjechać autobusami do szpitala Haukeland lub specjalnymi busami. Łatwo je rozpoznać. Z centrum odjeżdżają z rejonu Fisch Torget. Na sam szczyt prowadzą dwa podwieszone wagoniki. Uwaga! W złych warunkach pogodowych wagoniki nie kursują ! Pozostaje nam wejście piesze. Zabiera nam to około 1.5 godziny. Polecam rejon ten w bezchmurną pogodę. Widoki piękne są gwarantowane. Ciekawostka !!! Ze szczytu prowadzi specjalna ścieżka rowerowa którą można zjechać aż na sam dół. Ścieżka ta jest tylko dla wyczynowców!

    Loved this mountain. We tried to hike to floyen but it was very cloudy and not safe. So we ended up taking the cable car back down. But before you buy tickets, make sure its not a cloudy day with limited visibility. Would love to go back there on a clear day!

    This is the place that you cannot miss at bergen. The view is fantastic. It is a very nice place for trekking during summer time. The weather is not that hot (for asia. Like me). Walking abt 2 km will be a small shop.

    Incredibly beautiful nature. Using the cable car may get you to the top faster but you would lose and incredible hike! Be sure that you wear a proper equipment in winter since the top can be frozen and very slippery. Get a challenge climbing from the less popular North-West side!

    Extremly beautiful view from the top of the mountain, we took the cable car up the mountain and hiked to Fløyen, this is a 13 km hike and is very beautiful. I would really recommend doing this hike, and you can always take the Fløibanen down if you are to tired to walk down.

  • 5/5 हिमालय पराजुली (. 1 year ago on Google
    A short and steep hike, but for me (a slow walker) it takes 60+ minutes. There are several tracks and a longer and less steep option which is 3 times longer...... Cable car option is available after a 10-15 minutes walk from the local bus station. OR You can combine a shuttle bus trip with cable car from city centre.

  • 5/5 Aloysius L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Im G. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastisk place ! Guys if you want to go for a hiking with your friends dont miss this place :) You can take bus from to the starting point wherever you from in Bergen🤩👍🥾🥰

  • 5/5 Josh Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Took the cable car up and then hiked down. The cable car was easy and quick. Had lunch at the cafe on top with a spectacular view of Bergen. then walked down. Obviously much easier than hiking up but those with bad knees should be prepared for 1,300 steps (constructed by Sherpas) followed by a dirt path down to the cable car embarkation point. Note that if the parking lot is full (it’s a small lot), park at the nearby hospital. Parking on the street will get you a $90 parking ticket.

  • 5/5 Sajjad B. 8 months ago on Google
    1400 stairs to the top. It is steep but worth the effort. It connects to a few other trails which can all be done in one day.

    (Translated by Google) A superb view overlooking Bergen's beautiful cityscape and fjord. In retrospect, the gap between the cute hut and the pond pool is also wonderful. If you come to Bergen, you will definitely want to visit heaven. We recommend staying at the Montana Youth Hostel for hiking! You can park your car and the view from the inn is amazing. You can get to the top cafe in about an hour. All souvenirs are fashionable. The shoes are muddy on the way, but the route across the pond is beautiful, so if you have time, I would recommend the circuit route. (Original) ベルゲンの美しい街並みとフィヨルドをすぐ真下に見下ろす絶景。振り返ると可愛らしい小屋と池塘群というギャップがまた素晴らしい。ベルゲンに来たなら是非訪れたい天国の様な場所。 ハイキングするならモンタナユースホステルに泊まるのがオススメ!車を停めさせて貰えるし、宿からの景色も素晴らしい。1時間程で山頂のカフェに着ける。土産物がどれもオシャレ。 途中靴は泥だらけになるけれど、池を渡るルートは美しいので、時間があるなら周回ルートをオススメしたい。

    (Translated by Google) We went up in the gondola. (2019). Great for the kids. Sometimes long queues. We could buy tickets at the counter in front of the gondola. Descent on foot: Unfortunately we only found the steep and deep stairs (over 100) here for the descent. For people with knee or foot problems, I cannot necessarily recommend the descent ... Very great view and great for hiking upstairs. Can you stay long. The stream of visitors is going quite well. Free water to refill the water bottles at the cafe. (Original) Wir sind mit der Gondel aufgefahren. (2019). Toll für die Kids. Zum Teil lange Schlangen. Tickets könnten wir am Schalter vor der Gondel kaufen. Abstieg zu Fuß: Hier haben wir leider nur die steilen und tiefen Treppen (über 100) gefunden für den Abstieg. Für Menschen mit Knie-, oder Fußproblemen kann ich den Abstieg nicht unbedingt empfehlen... Sehr tolle Aussicht und super zum Wandern oben. Kann man sich lange aufhalten. Die Besucherströme verlaufen sich ganz gut. Kostenloses Wasser zum Auffüllen der Wasserflaschen am Cafe.

    (Translated by Google) Short hike with a view of the city of Bergen. Sometimes it is not so easy to find a parking space at the starting point. It takes about 45 minutes to go up, 30 minutes down. The cable car is currently being renewed, which is why you have to walk. The view is great, especially when the weather is nice.
