Vidden Start — Attraction in Bergen

From Ulriken ,to Vidden and to Vikinghytten The timer started once we get out on our door around 11.4 . Taking the bus from flaktveit down to the city bystasjon and took the bus bound to Montana we arrived on foot of mount ulriken by 12.26. We were on top by 13.33 took few pictures of the view then headed at the back of ulriken we started to walk 13.42. All you can see is a plateau ,solid rock formation and a sort of panoramic view in the city if you walk closely on the edges you definitely see it. You wont get lost because there are plenty of cairn huge one that will lead you to Fløyen,Vardegga, to Vikinghytten and more . It's a well track, with plenty of posts From where you stand you will see other neighbouring mountains filled with snow on the peak, view of Ytra arna on your right if you are still in the middle or between Vidden which you can still see the ulriken satellite. On your left as you get closer you get to see the Rundemanen and the red cabin which is the Vikinghytten. So read closely the sign. We arrived in the vikinghytten by 17.40 have a short break.Then, we went to a shortcut not that far from the cabin it's way too steep and marshy but then as you are getting down you will find a platform that will lead you down on the pathway out of the Vikinghytten. Down you will see a barn we just keep walking until we reached home by 19.45. So bring a lot of water because it's only flat no trees for shed if you are planning to hike during summer. Cairns might be hopeful for taking a break or a big rock to shield from the sun. The total of the time that covers our trip including the break,bus to city , taking pictures and walk from home is 8hours.41mins.44sec with circa 17.88 kilometers. Safe trip....

Great hike and amazing sceneries along the way. Took us approx. 6 hours, we stopped a lot along the way for taking photos and just enjoying the views Could be done faster if you just focus on hiking.

It was raining off and on during the last few hours and then it was cloudy and sunny the last part of the hike. Though there were a lot of people hiking in sneakers and shorts or even jeans I would advice for proper hiking boots and good rain wear for this hike. It was very muddy along the trail and some parts were more or less going through parts of water where you need to step on stones in the water to get through, and your shoes will get wet even if it is not currently raining.

Due to the weather I think it was less people on the trail than during a sunny day, some parts we didn't meet any hikers at all during a long period of time.

The view along the way is really amazing, especially as the clouds pass by and the view gets clearer.

We started at Ulriken and hiked to Fløyen. Since the funicular at Fløyen takes you right down to the city center that felt like a good place to...

A local recommended this hike to me, and it didn't disappoint at all. I started on top of Ulriken and hiked to Fløyen, it's not a difficult hike, but there are some parts where it gets more technical, so I wouldn't recommend it to complete beginners. At the start and the end of the trail, you have a great view over Norway's second-biggest city, Bergen. In the middle of the trail, you find yourself in pure nature and almost forget that you're so close to such a big city. I recommend bringing a map or a GPS-Device with you if it's the first time doing this hike, since it can get foggy out of nowhere...
