What To Expect

Your private guide takes you beyond the typical tourist routes and into Bergen’s untouched wilderness. Unlike the well-trodden paths, we explore hidden trails, peaceful forests, and scenic mountaintops where you can truly disconnect and experience nature in its purest form. The journey offers a perfect balance of adventure and tranquility, with breathtaking views of Bergen, the fjords, and the surrounding sea. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this experience goes beyond just hiking - it's an opportunity to learn about Norwegian culture, history, and traditions while immersing yourself in the stunning landscapes that define Norway. With a private guide, you’ll get a personal and authentic adventure that few visitors to Bergen get to experience. After an unforgettable journey through the mountains, you’ll return to Bergen’s center, leaving you with the rest of the day to explore the city. If you’re looking for an authentic Norwegian adventure beyond the typical tourist spots, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. This hike is best suited for those with some hiking experience, as the trails can be uneven and occasionally wet. Proper hiking shoes are required.

We had a wonderful day exploring the Bergen foothills around Mount Floien with Jannis. He brought the history and landscape to life with fascinating insights and stories, pointing out landmarks and details we would have otherwise missed. His mix of knowledge, humor, and warmth made the experience both engaging and memorable. The route was beautiful, the pace just right, and the time flew by. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Bergen and its surroundings. Highly recommend Jannis to anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable adventure.
Fantastic views! Great guide!

WOW, we had a great Guide, Maria. Very friendly and knowledgable. We went much further than we ever would have done by ourselves. She took us off the beaten track and to wonderful view spots. Would thoroughly recommend.

Our hike was led by Thor and it was incredible! This was an excursion from a cruise ship and tour company allowed us to form a group based upon hiking experiences and abilities. As strong hikers we went all the way to the top and then across. It was perfection! We had great weather, great hiking and a great guide! It is SO important to the overall experience to have hikers with similar abilities.

We weren't sure we'd make it up to where the sheep were grazing, but we did! Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and flexible clothing - at times it didn't seem like there was a path at all, but our guide knew the way and we had a great time. Our 50+ year old knees and calves hurt for a few days but we would do it again in a heartbeat (besides, we were going home the next day!).
Beautiful Bergen

Used Norway Mountain guides with my family in Bergen and two of their guides took us on an absolutely beautiful hike! The guides were incredibly kind and accommodating as well as super knowledgeable about Bergen fun facts and mountain trails. I highly recommend booking a hiking tour with them and seeing all the beauty that Norway has to offer!
Wonderful hike in Bergen!

We went on the Top of Bergen hike with Jon before our cruise to Iceland. Such a great hike tailored to our abilities and included beautiful views. Jon was so knowledgeable about the Bergen area as well as Norway in general. We feel that he went above and beyond and loved the reindeer sausage and muesli bars he brought for snacks. This was our first day in Bergen and could not have been better. Jon made the hike so much fun!
