Getting to hike in a spot visited by locals was a special experience. The views from the top are spectacular!
Jan was personable and professional - and a great guide.
Our guide was amazing! We set our own speed, he was super knowledgeable about the area, and very friendly. The hike is a little difficult in parts, but not too bad.
We had a nice time! the hike wasn’t too strenuous, but can be slippery so good to hear appropriate footwear. Jan was a gracious host, and showed us spectacular views of the fjords around Bergen. Finished the hike with tea and snacks in his home, recommend for a nice day in Bergen.
Great hike with a hospitable tour guide! The view was incredible from the top! My guide picked me up from my hotel, guided me up the mountain, took photos, shared pastries and coffee following the hike, and drive me back to my hotel. Very pleasant experience!
If you're interested in a stunning hike with fantastic guides, this is a must. The trail is near their home in a neighborhood that overlooks Bergen. Although the trail is occasionally steep and challenging at times, the guides are experienced at pacing the walk and making the experience delightful. The view at the peak is epic.
Moderate hike with opportunity to do more. Great guide and conversation. Local knows the area very well.
Beautiful scenery, moderate to challenging hike (rain changed level), and great insights into Norwegian culture from footballer Olav who’s fluent in English and Norwegian. Wonderful experience that we couldn’t have imagined.
This is a one of a kind hike overlooking Bergen. Jan was an excellent guide and host. If you want an individual experience this is the hike. Great scenery , work out and overall experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed this experience! Olav did an amazing job, making this a highlight of our stay in Bergen. Not only was the hike fantastic, but we also had a wonderful visit with his family after the hike while we were treated to hot drinks and homemade pastries. I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!
Our hike with Emma was a memorable experience. Glad we actually did it. You might want to consider this hike if you want to experience the mountains around Bergen and add that extra excitement to your holidays. We were picked up promptly by Emma our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the natural surroundings. She drove us about 30 minutes outskirts of Bergen where we started our hike. The initial sections were a bit tricky (ropes available to help the climb). As we started to ascent we got views over the fjords and Bergen scenery. We also stopped to pick wild berries. A 40-50 minutes trek up the mountain brought us to the summit. We took in the fresh breeze and the scenery. Emma shared some much needed sweets and chocolates to regain the lost energy. After spending some time on the top we started our journey back down. Once we reached our starting point Emma treated us to some cinnamon delicacy's popular in Bergen. Overall a wonderful experience and a great guide. I would highly recommend this adventure.
I went with my teenage son, without my husband (who had a hip injury and couldn’t hike). I was a little nervous in a foreign country going on a private hike with just the two of us and a guide, but Olav was a wonderful guide. He was prompt picking us up outside the cruise terminal and immediately made us feel comfortable and welcome. The first 10 minutes of the hike are pretty straight uphill, but he will go at your speed or help you if needed. Once you get past that, the rest of the hike is moderate to easy if you are used to doing any cardio exercise. The views were amazing.. almost 360 degrees of water, island and mountains. Our actual hiking was probably about 1.5 -2 hours long plus stops for photos on top, a snack on the patio of his home at the end and a 15 min drive both to and from the cruise port. Total 3hours. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in hiking and seeing the beautiful views.
If you’re looking for a local, authentic and adventurous experience, I highly recommend this!
I only had 2 days in Bergen and was so glad that I came across this tour. Maria was such a knowledgeable, considerate and fun guide and I immediately felt welcomed when she picked me up from my hotel.
The hike itself is rewarding with genuinely breathtaking views of Bergen and surrounding areas (quite different vibes compared to Mount Floyen). Maria paced the hike really well, always made sure I was ok and answered all my questions about the wildlife - we even snacked on wild strawberries, raspberries and blueberries along the walk!
We then tried some fresh jam as we were welcomed into the beautiful family home. The hospitality was fantastic and I really felt part of the Norwegian culture.
Super happy that we got to climb one of the many mountains in Bergen. This was such an authentic way of immersing into the city and I will definitely book this again if I revisit Bergen!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic hike and experience - capped off with a visit to the guide's family beautiful house on a cliff overlooking the city where you are warmly served coffee and bakery items. Hike is moderate difficulty - it's a a few trails and some rocks with a few places with ropes to help as needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Jan is a wonderful host. I made a mistake about my pick up location and he was very accommodating. Our hike was *incredible*. We had such a great time. Jan gave us a heads up about difficult sections and gave us time to take in the scenery. He never rushed us, and when we were a little slower, he patiently waited for us. Our conversation was so interesting and I am so so so glad we booked this excursion. If you are considering this, you should absolutely do it. I felt like a real local Norwegian.
This was a perfect addition to our time in Bergen. Olav was kind, outgoing, and very easy to be with. The hike was gorgeous and a lot of fun. Our two young kids managed pretty easily but Olav did a great job keeping them engaged. We loved getting to learn more about Norwegian culture while enjoying baked goods and coffee after the hike. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to see a different side of Bergen!
My mom, brother and I came to Bergen and signed up for this hike. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Olav was our guide and he was wonderful. My mom needed some hand holding while making it up some of the big rocks and Olav was patient and helped her without a problem. Visiting the family home was an enjoyable experience and getting a chance to visit and talk about the different areas of Norway and the culture was something wonderful.
I can’t recommend this hike enough. I do recommend folks bring an extra pair of socks if it’s a rainy day and make sure your shoes have good tread, the roots can get a bit slippery when wet.
Absolutely breathtaking view of Bergen! 3 hour private Norwegian hiking experience with a local guide was pure magic. Nature at its finest, expertly guided. Highly recommend!

It was a pleasure showing you around! Hope you will come back to Bergen soon.
Cette randonnée fut une expérience incroyable ! J'ai pu voir des paysages époustouflants mais également en apprendre un peu plus sur les environs de Bergen. Jan est très patient et à l'écoute de vos besoins. Il a d'ailleurs gentiment pris des photos de moi une fois au sommet ! Pour couronner le tout, j'ai adoré goûter les pâtisseries norvégiennes et le thé servis à la fin de la visite. Je recommande chaudement!!!
La ruta es preciosa! Hay unas vistas maravillosas al fiordo y a la ciudad. Hay mucha visibilidad y se puede ver todo el fiordo.
Maria es muy simpática e iba dando descripciones de lo que íbamos viendo a medida que avanzabamos. Su español es excelente y nos comunicamos sin problemas! Muy buena guía :)
Recomiendo totalmente la experiencia, imperdible para aprovechar el máximo de Bergen!
Gran experiencia con Maria. El paisaje espectacular, Maria excelente explicando muchas curiosidades y respondiendo a todas nuestras con un muy buen nivel de español.
Los snacks noruegos (skolebolle, saft, etc) hicieron que le experience fuese aún más auténtica.
Sin lugar a duda, cuando volvamos a Bergen repetiremos.
