Cycling and hiking

Arrival Bergen - or Sognefjorden

Bergen city - beautiful and rich in cultural history and exciting architecture

The day provides an opportunity for a first meeting with Bergen. Your hotel room is ready in the city center and you have short distances to all attractions. The city has a lot of exciting things to offer, and we recommend extra nights for hiking or biking. But Bergen can also be explored another time, and the trip can continue to the Sognefjord the same afternoon.

Bergen - boat trip to the Sognefjord

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

The day can be spent on a bike or on foot, the choice is yours. Traveling by express boat takes you to one of Norway's most famous historic wooden hotels. Here came the artists, photographers, writers and prominent people of the 1800s. They were inspired by the changing light in the sky, created their works of art and some of the built kite-style villas that you can still admire.

Hiking Raudmelen 8 km

The view from the path up to Raudmelen in Balestrand.

The hike starts from the 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. Back in Balestrand we recommend cider tasting. Many options for shorter routes in case of bad weather or other wishes.

Bicycle ride to Menes 30/60 km

The stages go along the fjord and new views await around every turn.

The roads are flat, narrow, and the unique geography around the small arms of the fjord reveals a new landscape around every turn. Boat trip and sightseeing with Captain Tor can be booked back to Balestrand. Extra nights can be easily added, here there are several attractions. Lots of options for spectacular hiking and other fun activities.

Cycling to Hafslo 25 km / 44 km

The roads are charmingly narrow and not very busy.

You have some options for moving further into the fjord and you choose what you prefer. You cycle through the regional center in Sogn today and you must not miss the special fjord path. The boutique hotel you are staying at for the next two days has character and stunning views. You will be served beautiful short-distance food from their own garden - around a long table.

Hiking Molden 8 km

Molden - an iconic hike in Luster municipality.

With its 1116 masl, Molden is described as the finest vantage point for the Sognefjord with panoramic views of the fjord arms and the high mountains in Jotunheimen. The packed lunch can be enjoyed in the stone hut on the top plateau with this fantastic view, in all directions. Other hiking options from the hotel if conditions require - you can also choose a cycling adventure this day.

Cycling Skjolden 38 km

Sit back and enjoy the view in Skjolden.

Set aside some time in idyllic Solvorn before taking the ferry to Urnes. Visit the famous and distinctive stave church at the top of the hill. In the converted barn just below the masterpiece you can enjoy a waffle with a view and short-distance raspberry juice. At the spectacular Feigumfossen you will find a nice place for today's lunch by the fjord. The small cafe in the special historic building is probably open. Accommodation by the fjord with great views - again.
