About this tour
This session rides the cable car up Ulriken and walks a stretch of the summit ridge, the highest of Bergen's seven surrounding mountains. You see the other peaks come into view during the ride and the wider landscape beyond the city from the ridge itself. Silje compares the view directly with the one from Fløyen on the opposite side of town.
She spends most of the session on the ridge, since the ground is level enough to walk while filming and the view keeps changing with the light. On the way down she slows again at a lower viewpoint to compare both mountains side by side.
This suits anyone who wants Bergen's highest view rather than its most convenient one. It also pairs well with Silje's second, lower session through Skuteviken's old streets.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Bergen before heading out.
-
The cable car 21 min
The camera rides the cable car up Ulriken, Bergen's highest surrounding peak, and I point out the other six mountains coming into view as the car climbs.
-
The summit ridge 21 min
Walking a short stretch of the ridge at the top, you see far beyond the city on a clear day, and I explain why Ulriken is used for both hiking and paragliding launches.
-
Looking back at the city 21 min
From a lower viewpoint on the way down, the whole of Bergen sits below with Fløyen visible on the opposite side, and I compare the two mountains' views directly.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Bergen: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Smoked salmon and Nordnes, worth a slower look.
