Why Mount Ulriken matters
Ulriken rises behind Bergen, and a cable car takes you to the top in a few minutes. On a clear day you see the whole city, the islands and the fjords beyond. At the top there is a restaurant and walking trails across open mountain terrain. You can also hike up or down for a more active day out.
Talking points
- A cable car runs to the summit.
- The panorama covers city, islands and fjords.
- Hiking trails connect to other peaks.
