Take the Floibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen! Check out the spectacular view of the city, play in the Troll Forest or walk exciting nature trails.

If you are in Bergen, Fløyen (320 masl.) is an absolute must visit! A trip with the funicular Fløibanen is a great experience, with the two carriages that have transported people to the mountain for over 100 years. The tour starts in the heart of Bergen city centre and takes you to the top in approximately 6 minutes. There you will get a spectacular panoramic view over the city, fjord and mountains.




A WALK SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES! ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS AND WINDING ROADS FROM MOUNT FLØYEN DOWN TO THE CITY CENTER.

If steep climbs are not for you, you can take the Fløibanen funicular up to the top and walk down to central Bergen. This is a popular walk suitable for people of all ages, and it takes around 1 hour (or less if you are a fast walker). Needless to say, you can walk up to Fløyen too - it just takes a bit longer.

If you have a stroller or buggy, or young children, it’s not a problem. You’ll easily get a place for the buggy on the Fløibanen, and the walk down to Bergen city centre is gravel or asphalt and should cause you no problem.

The Fløibanen funicular has several stops on its way up the mountainside. If you don't feel up to walking the whole way down, you can take the funicular halfway down to Fjellveien for example and take the last bit of the the journey by foot. This is especially useful in the winter when it can get icy towards the top.

On this walk you will have a golden opportunity to take great pictures of fantastic views and charming old wooden buildings.

The route winds its way down from the mountain with many twists and turns, but it is easy to find your way. On your way down, make sure you leave plenty of time to relax on one of the many benches along the way. They are placed so that you can really take in the great view.
