See the main sights of Bergen before ascending the city's most impressive mountain by cable car, to view the city from above. Bergen is known as the city between 7 mountains, and Mount Ulriken is the highest and most spectacular of these. At 2,109 feet above sea level, the view from the top offers a magnificent panorama of the city, coastal landscape, fjords and mountains. As you take a leisurely drive through Bergen to the cable car, your guide will point out the interesting landmarks such as the Grieghallen, fish market, Bryggen and the Nordes Peninsula. At the cable car station you'll board your gondola for the 7 minute ride to reach the top. As you ascend you will be able to see views of Norway's second largest city stretching out below you. On arrival at the summit of Mount Ulriken, refreshments of coffee or tea and a slice of cake will be served in the stylish new restaurant, whilst you relax and enjoy the panoramic views.
Special Notes:
There is a walk of approximately 200 yards over uneven terrain and 20 steps at the cable car station. Long queues may be experienced due to the popularity of this attraction. There is standing room only in the gondolas, and each one will accommodate up to 15 people. The views may be affected by certain weather conditions, however the tour will still operate except when the cable car closes due to strong winds. There are 15 steps to access the toilets in the restaurant. If the ship is berthed at Dokken or Jekteviken Pier, the journey will include a tunnel.Details
