Cool experience. We took the funicular to the top and then did a challenging hike to the top of the Gondola via steep and remote trails.

The Fløibanen Funicular was highly recommended. It's a beautiful place to hike with lovely views, and there's a restaurant at the top where you can relax.... Read more

What you'll do

Begin your adventure in Bergen by hopping on the historical Fløibanen funicular railway, which has been transporting visitors and locals alike since 1918. With two carriages, each capable of holding up to 120 passengers, you'll enjoy a smooth ascent to Mount Fløyen at 1,050 feet (320 m) above sea level. As you glide upward, the driver, always in the carriage, ensures a safe journey. 

Upon reaching the summit, you'll be greeted by beautiful views over the city below and its surrounding fjord landscape. Take a moment to soak in the panoramic vistas before exploring the various attractions that the summit has to offer. You can indulge in a meal or a snack, like a traditional svele pancake, at Fløirestauranten, Fløistuen Café, or Skomakerstuen Café, or pick up a souvenir at Fløistuen (both a shop and café). For those looking to explore the area further, let your inner child (or actual children) roam free in the large playground or spend a night in The Cone, a modest pinecone-shaped accommodation suspended off the forest floor.

Families and nature enthusiasts will love the opportunities for adventure. Discover the enchanting troll forest, meet friendly goats, or wander through the vast hiking areas available year-round. Enjoy complimentary canoeing on Lake Skomakerdiket during the summer, or rent a mountain bike for more active exploration. If you have the time, consider walking back down the mountain to fully immerse yourself in the area's natural beauty—a highlight of many visitors. The descent offers different perspectives of the landscape and is a peaceful way to conclude your visit to Mount Fløyen.

It was a nice ride up to the top of the mountain to get city views. There is also a playground and troll park at the top to explore. Luckily we had sunshine, would not be much fun in the rain.

This is a must do especially on a clear day! We did not explore the hiking trails, but you could spend hours up here. We particularly loved the cashmere goats who keep the area trimmed up. This would be a great place to sit, have a drink and gaze at the Bergen harbor and the mountain. Get one of the adirondack chairs and enjoy the view. Read more

We decided to try the Fløibanen Funicular, but were disappointed with the ticket policy. We had planned to go up, explore, and return in the evening, but it turns out the ticket was only for a single round trip, not all-day access as we had understood. This misunderstanding could have been costly had we planned a dinner up there. It didn't ruin our trip, but it's something that travelers should be aware of.

Great way to get to the top of Mount Floyen! Fun seeing the goats grazing amongst the visitors. We walked down on our own, which was fun but it does take a while to traverse all those switchbacks! Read more

Give yourself time to walk back down to city center. Really nice trail through the woods .
