Great walks: Ulriken - Vidden, Bergen - Norway


I started the walk next to the cable car station at Montana. The start of the walk its pretty steep and definitely give you room for breather. When you get up to the lookout you have a fantastic panoramic view. Leg two of the walk takes you over Vidden on the top of the mountain ridge that surrounds Bergen. The walk at the top its pretty easy and you will enjoy a fantastic view-  but it is a long walk. I walked down Fløyensvingene (hair needle pins) and ended up with a cold beer at Bergen harbor - well deserved. During the walk I found it funny to watch tourist take the walk with no clue of how long the walk is. In clothing and shoes not appropriate for this walk at all, I have to say I find it quite impressive that they get down from the mountain at all (and I bet many of them say to themselves never again!). However with the right fitness level, gear, shoes and food the walk is the best walk in the Bergen area.
