I hiked up Mt Floyen in Bergen with Frank Barmen of Norway Mountain Guides and 3 other hikers on a chilly, foggy, drizzly day. The hike was wonderful, despite the bad weather, because Frank was our guide. Frank knows so much about Bergen and Norway and he shares his knowledge in an interesting and engaging way. Also, Frank took very good care of our group of hikers: he brought bread (which he baked himself!) with Norway's brown cheese (delicious!) to share with us as we hike up the mountain, also hot broth with local herbs which he poured for us at the summit to cut the chilly wind. I highly recommend hiking with Frank in the mountains around Bergen - I hope you find better weather than we had but you'll still have a great time even if the weather isn't so great!
thank you so much for such a nice review, despite the weather being bad. With good company and varying terrain we still managed to have fun. It is with great reverence that we welcome guests who have traveled beyond the earth to see our mountainous areas and learn more about the local culture. Thank you again for choosing Norway Mountain Guides. On your next trip we will take you Fjord hiking.
My family and I did a hike this morning with Frank and it was a truly breathtaking experience. I would recommend it to all adventurous travellers who love a good hike with beautiful sceneries throughout!
Thanks a lot, your were a great family and had such a good time, great to meet people who value nature so highly. all the best Frank
I booked the Vidden hike but on the morning of Mount Ulriken was socked in with fog. Our guide Frank adjusted the route and we instead hiked up to Mount Floyen and throughout the back country. Although the day never cleared for us to enjoy any views, it was still a lovely hike with mossy green woods, lakes and wildflowers. Frank was a terrific guide and as a Bergen native had lots of stories and insights into Norwegian life and culture. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate you will have a great time with Norway Mountain guides!
Thank you so much, and great to hear that you got learn about the local culture while hiking. i also learned a lot from you guys this day!
My daughter and I did the Vidden hike with Frank, owner of Norwaymountainguides.com yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the views of the Bergen area. Frank was so knowledgeable and such a flexible guide. He completely tailored the hike to the likes and needs of our small group. I would highly recommend using this company for your hiking/tour needs while in Bergen.
ÅÅÅ Nice to hear, thank you so much.
Sometimes it is far better not to think business but rather go with small groups where we have time for good conversations and appreciate nature around us. Thank you so much for choosing NMG so your supplier for one of your few holiday days.
We booked a one day hiking tour with mountain guides. We were so pleasantly surprised. From the booking til the final step of the hike. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the areas hiking, troll lore and Norway itself. He was very animated and a great conversationalist. We enjoyed our day very very much and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bergen. Thanks for your expertise and generosity.
Really nice to hear that you had a great day, and l agree, Daniel or guide are well educated and knows so much about outdoor life. and nice to hear that you appreciated that we use Norwegian local guides who can use their local history. All the best, and have a great summer!
