Amazing!
Amazing! We got the first bus from Bergen city centre to Ulriken and were some of the first people up the cable car in the morning, it was so quiet and peaceful (and we were lucky that the sun was out) It soon got busy so I'd recommend trying to get there as early as you can. You can walk up / down but it's approx 2000 steps (as in stairs) each way. Many people were doing this and it would have been lovely but I stuck to the cable car each way. There are many walks and hikes you can go on, not signposted so ensure you know your way and take water / be prepared. It takes a little longer to reach Ulriken than Floyen but the views from here were absolutely amazing.

A View From The Top
We enjoy riding in gondolas and this was no exception. We took the dedicated shuttle bus from city center, the bus was very nice, on time and dropped us at the base of the gondola. Boarding was easy and the ride offered amazing view. At the top there is a cafe and restaurant, we ordered hot chocolates and pasties which were very good. There is a nice restroom at the top as well. 360 views can't be beat!

Snowy Heights
It's not easy to locate but it's a great view once you're there. If you're near the wharf, you'll need to taxi (expensive) or figure out the bus system. From the bus stop, it's a not insignificant 15 minute walk uphill to the base gondola. You can buy your tickets there and it's a short ride to the top. During the winter, it's snow covered and beautiful. You can walk out through the snow and down the mountain a bit if you wish. The mountain offers a gorgeous panoramic of Bergen and the neighboring areas. They also have a very stylish cafe where you can warm up, have food and beverages. Overall, definitely worth the trek.
