Bergen is known for the beautiful Hanseatic district of Bryggen, a unique fish market, impressive fjord landscapes and for its seven mountains.

Beginners and advanced skiers can get their money’s worth on different hiking tours, as each mountain has different climbs and thus different degrees of difficulty.<\/p>\n

Over 250 days a year to be exact. The more inspiring are the people who live in Norway’s second largest city. No matter what weather it is, they go hiking.
