Hiking:

Mount Ulriken is perfect for hiking. Spectacular views and beautilful terrain whether you take a short 10 minute hike or venture out on a full day hike. It is also popular to walk from Mount Ulriken to Fløyen across "Vidden". The tour takes about 5 hours. You can walk from Fløyen to Ulriken or from Ulriken to Fløyen. The latter is most popular because you get a more gentle walk and you finish right in the city center.

You can also choose to take the cable car up to the top and walk back down. Or the oposite. Read more about hiking up Ulriken here.

For those looking to explore further, there are trails of varying difficulty, but they are not wheelchair-friendly.

From April to the end of September, the Ulriken Shuttle Express bus runs every half hour from a stop just around the corner from the Tourist Information. The journey to the cable car entrance takes 10-15 minutes. Manual wheelchairs can be stored at the back of the bus, but passengers must be able to board without using their wheelchair. The shuttle bus is not accessible for electric wheelchairs.

If you are traveling by public transport, you can take the Bergen Light Rail (Bybanen) line 2 to Haukeland Sykehus, which is also the name of the exit you choose at the station. Once outside, it is only a 5-10 minute walk to the cable car. However, the road is very steep and not recommended during winter as it might be slippery when temperatures are low, or icy if snowfall. Even during the summer the steep road might be challenging unless you have an electric wheelchair.

If you arrive by car you can embark right outside the entrance, then the car can be parked in the big garage under Haukeland Sykehus (the hospital in Bergen), about 5-10 minutes walk from the the cable car. With taxi, you can embark right outside the cable car.
