    A great day
    My husband and I really enjoyed the hiking tour with guides Ole and Øystein. They took our group of seven (I think it was) to a location about 45 minutes drive from Bergen. As we climbed up into the hills the guides were happy to stop so we could look at and taste various wild berries (e.g. blueberry, ligonberry, etc), which was fun. Both guides spoke excellent English and were very knowledgeable about the area and were also happy to share information about life in Norway. Our group members had various fitness levels so after a while Ole and Øystein offered two options if our group wanted to consider splitting. One option was to go at a slower pace and walk to a lower scenic location, and the other option was to go faster and higher. My husband and I plus one other group member opted for the faster, higher walk. Ole led the way on that option and bounded along. It was a strenuous walk but the view from the top was well and truly worth the effort. We stopped at the top for lunch and Ole brought out some Norwegian snacks to complement our own packed lunches, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere on the hike was friendly, relaxed and informative. All in all it was a great day and one of the highlights of our time in Norway.

    Amazing hike and hospitality
    Had an surreal experience climbing Mt Hananipa with our amazing guide Øystein. Very hospitable and extremely knowledge about Bergen and hiking in general. Nothing beats exploring nature and have great conversation while doing it. Took great candid pictures of me and my partner at viewpoints and offered us some reindeer sausages and coffee once we reached the summit. We unfortunately didn’t get a good view from the top because of the weather so Øystein took us to another location where to climbed behind a waterfall and then even higher for an amazing view of the valley and the surrounding area. Would highly recommend this tour and ask for Øystein!.These connections with people are what make the trip worth it’s while.

    Exhilarating and challenging hike!
    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.

    Stunning experience - the stillness of nature at your footsteps
    The hike was incredible. We were taken to a beautiful spot just 45 minutes outside of Bergen. The hike was 5 hours or so, but very manageable with a basic level of fitness. You meet beautiful souls in the fellow hikers, see the most stunning, still nature where very few other people venture, and get great support from the guides. Hugely recommend!

    Amazing fjord hike in Bergen
    Me and my mom did this amazing hike with our wonderful local guide Normann. Truly an unforgetable and amazing expirience! The views are amazing and the whole hike was the perfect length. We were picked up from the harbour in Bergen and returned to the same spot. Normann was such a sweet guide providing us with interesting information about the Bergen region. Truly recommend for everyone!

    If you enjoy hiking and beautiful views, this is a must-do!
    The "Hiking on Top of Bergen" public tour was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Bergen! After meeting up with our guide Normann, who was incredible, we started the day by taking a trip up to Mt Fløyen by cable car to officially start the hike. The various peaks we stopped at were amazing, but once we hiked to the top of the mountain we were greeted with a breathtaking view of the entire city and surrounding mountains. Along the way, Normann told us about the history of the locations we stopped at and shared personal stories about his hiking experiences as a guide; he definitely made the hike better than we could imagine! Overall, I would consider this an easy-medium hike but we also lucked out with great weather. If you're interested in having a great day outdoors, please consider signing up!

    Outstanding Hike
    I booked this hike on line 2 months before our trip making it very easy to plan ahead. The description was just as they said, that it was a remote hike away from the crowds. The advice on what to have with you was also accurate. There were 8 participants in the group, with 2 guides. They picked us up at the meeting place and we drove about 40minutes out of Bergen, with some lovely views along the way. We did stop at one point at a very small village at the grocery store/ library to use the bathroom or pick up snacks if needed. The hike was moderately challenging for my husband and I, in our mid 60s, in good health and exercise regularly. At a mid point of the hike we were offered to go either a more challenging route to one peak, or a slightly less challenging but still beautiful peak. We chose the slightly easier route with 3 others and each group had its own guide. The other participants were of similar age and younger. The views throughout the hike were beautiful! You are above tree line so can see in all directions to the fjords surrounding this very large island. The many small ponds, streams, and fields were so pretty making for a delightful landscape. The guides were able to tell us about local flora and fauna, as well as some history of the area. They are very obviously in love with being in the outdoors and know the area well. They provided some traditional Norwegian snacks at the top which was very nice. We did bring our own sandwiches as well and had worked up a big appetite. Plus bring our own water. Good trail shoes are a must, there is some rock scrambling, rock hopping and wet conditions,and steep areas so a good grippy shoe is important. It was an outstanding way to experience the natural beauty of Norway. I was so pleased with the guides and the hike!

    Experience of a lifetime!
    Experience of a lifetime! Amazing day hiking to the top of Hananipa with a bonus stop at Steinsdalsfossen. Will definitely use this company again if back in Bergen. Could not recommend highly enough.

    Nice, fun experience, although a bit on the expensive side for a walk
    Great hike with amazing view over the fjord. Guide was very friendly and talkative. Group of 4 including the guide made it very private and peaceful hike. Missed the snack though. Although price is a bit on the high side all things considered we had an amazing time and for first timers in Norway it was a nice look at how easy it is to get to nature when driving 30 minutes out of a city.

    Hello Sheep
    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!).

    Brilliant tour of Beautiful Bergen!
    Josina was our guide and she was GREAT! Informed and informative, warm and funny, displayed a passion for Bergen and its surroundings, and answered every question, and then some! A must for any duration of stay in beautiful Bergen. One of our fellow group-members was not great with stairs, and the route was adapted unhesitatingly, and without detracting from the experience at all.

    Best part of the trip
    This is a great trip up of Norwegian mountain. Probably took about an hour and a half to go up but it was scenic all the way and entertaining with a good guide and guests. I would definitely recommend some good hiking shoes given that it can be quite muddy in the summer, but hiking poles is almost certainly optional. You can take your time and really get the spend some time gazing at the scenery and sheep. Inspired me to come back and do more of the same next time I visit.

    Great views & great company
    Thomas was an excellent guide! My wife and I were slower hikers than the rest of the group & Thomas was good about waiting for us to catch up and walking with us from time to time. We really enjoyed the hike, the views and getting to meet hikers from different countries.

    A Fun Experience with a Local Guide: Rain, Foraging, and Norwegian Delights!
    Gaute, a Bergen local, was our fantastic tour guide! Despite rainy weather and extreme fog, he made our hike safe and memorable, teaching us about trees, mushrooms, and history. He even guided us to forage for berries. During a break, he introduced us to Norway's brown cheese and other delightful snacks. Meeting other couples in our small group was a bonus. If you're in town for a short time, I highly recommend this hike. Gaute's knowledge and hospitality made our day in rainy Bergen.

    Hiking on top of Bergen
    This was an amazing experience, our guide was Tomas and did a superb job. He was very friendly and accommodating. We had an amazing time, although conditions were not easy, Tomas took us on top of Bergen. We had a wonderful time.

We went to Norway for one week during Christmas holidays. At the end of our stay we booked a snowshoe hiking excursion with Frank. It was the best day for the children, and also for us, of the whole vacation. Frank is a very professional guide, and tells a lot about the surroundings and Norway in general. He is a very nice person and is flexible about the goals and wishes of the client! Thanks a lot and greetings from Belgium! Kurt and family.

What an experience! We had a wonderful time with Frank on the mountains north of Bergen. As we were the only ones, Frank called us the evening before to discuss options. He gave us the choice of travelling a little further to find snow, a hike with fabulous views over the fjords or to walk the hills around Bergen itself. We decided to go with the views - they were incredible! Frank was incredibly friendly and approachable and tailored the hike to our abilities and to what we wanted to do. I’d love to go back to Norway and Bergen especially, and would definitely choose to go hiking with Norway Mountain Guides again!!

Thanks for the unique recommendation of the company. This means a lot and we are glad you got a good experience. Even for us local, the combination of fjord and snow is very special.

Highlight of our trip! Frank rang us the day before to discuss the trip that was happening the following day. The weather had been quite warm so Frank said we may not be able to find the snow we were looking for. We decided that the best option was to travel outside Bergen and see what we could find. Frank knows the area very well and luckily found snow! Frank tailored the experience to our fitness levels and what we wanted out of the trip. The scenery was unforgettable and we couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable trip. Frank was dedicated to making sure we had a great time and he was very friendly and keen to share information about the local area. We would love to come back again! See you again Frank!!

Absolutely fantastic trip during my stay in Bergen. It was incredibly well organised and Frank was a fantastic guide throughout giving us insight into all things Norway. The added hot chocolate and reindeer salami at the top of the hike was a great touch as well. The views were incredible for what was not an overly taxing hike even with snow shoes that I hadn’t used before. An incredible experience overall with great views and great guiding by Frank!

A great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our hike. Our guide, Tor, was very patient and full of interesting stories and facts. The views from the top were stunning and well worth the climb. It was so peaceful with just Tor and the three of us. The hot chocolate and snacks in the little hut very much appreciated.
Thanks Tor for giving up your Saturday. We really enjoyed your company today.
Thanks also to Frank for organising the trip for us at short notice.
A highlight of our trip to Bergen.

We had an absolutely fantastic day. Definitely the highlight of our stay in Bergen and Easter holiday generally. The scenery on the walk was beautiful. After a mild winter and recent warm weather they knew exactly where to go to get some snow and the most out of your trip. Frank our guide was knowledgeable and great with kids. It was a nice treat to have some traditional food at the top. We had a lovely day thank you Frank!

Our group had a great day snowshoeing with Norwegian Mountain Guides.
We were on a cruise and didn't have time for the standard tour so Frank worked worked with us for several days to make this happen, setting up a wonderful private adventure.
Then we were pleased Frank was actually our guide for the day in Bergen! He came early, before regular tours, so we could make it back before our ship left port. He took us to an amazing location with great snow and beautiful scenery. (We wore our own masks in the car during a beautiful drive but we didn't need them while snowshoeing.)
We worked our way up to the top of a fjord overlook and had a hot drink and a snack of traditional Norwegian food. He chatted along the way so we learned quite a bit about Norway as we trekked. Just wonderful!
Plus he got us back to the ship in plenty of time. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better start to our cruise. Can't say enough about how much our whole group enjoyed this!

Thank you very much for choosing Norway Mountain Guides as your guides. Sorry for late feedback. Many locals see cruise tourists as wanting only to experience city life, you showed that this is not the case. you all wanted to learn something new, and see remote mountain areas covered in snow. We are grateful that you got a good start on your wonderful Viking cruise journey!

Brilliant day snowshoe hiking with Frank. Beautiful views, knowledgable guide & a great spot to enjoy some delicious local snacks that Frank brought. Snow starting to melt but still a great adventure that we needed the snow shoes for!

Thanks Frank!
