Cycling and hiking

Arrival Bergen

Bergen city – beautiful and rich in cultural history and exciting architecture.

Norways next largest city on the western coast welcomes you. Bergen has a lot to offer and you are accomodated in the city center with short distances to all attractions. The city is surrounded by seven mountains and we recommend extra nights for hiking or cycling. But Bergen can also be explored at the end of your tour, and the journey can continue to the Sognefjord the same afternoon. The coastal boat from Bergen to Sognefjord have two departures pr day. In the morning and in the afternoon.

Bergen – boat trip to the Sognefjord

The coastal boat takes you from Bergen and into the beautiful Sognefjord.

Traveling from Bergen with the coastal boat to Balestrand. You disembark the boat just outside one of Norway’s most famous historic wooden hotels. Here came the artists, photographers, writers and prominent people from the 18th century. They were inspired by the beautiful landscapes with the changing light and created their works of art.

The hike starts from your hotel. From the top of Raudmelen, 972 masl, you have a fantastic view of Balestrand and the majestic Sognefjord. Enjoy a picnic with fantastic views at the top.  Several options for shorter hikes in case of bad weather or other.
