This tour goes from Bergen city center and over the mountain to Arna Station and by train back to the city.
We start at Fløibanen and you can choose to walk or take the path up to Fløyen. Then you follow the hiking path up and past Rundemannen and further onto the path towards Vidden. After about 1 km the path splits and then follow the signs towards Vikinghytten. On this hike you pass many cabins run by different sports teams in Bergen. They are often open on weekends and it is possible to stop by and buy coffee, waffles and other things. Check the cabins' websites or Facebook pages for updated opening hours. At Tranehytten there is a large stream where it is possible to fill up with water, so that was the path chosen this time. The Next stage goes over Vardegga which offers a fantastic panoramic view, here you see the sea to the west and the large mountain ranges to the east, with Gullfjellet in front. Here you have a real high mountain feeling and in addition far less hiking traffic than over Vidden. After a flat and nice hike over Vardegga the descent towards Arna begins. Follow the ski trail towards Norhytten and Indre Arna. The first few meters it is a little difficult to see the path, but walk towards the small stone cairns and the large high-voltage pylons. Norhytten is usually staffed on weekends. After a visit here, follow the path down towards Arna and then along the road the last bit down to the train station in Arna.
This is a fantastic hike in varied mountain terrain and with great viewpoints. Some small sections are very muddy so good hiking shoes are recommended.
