 The cable car by FletteMette
If you're feeling sporty, the (quite) easy and very popular hike from Ulriken to Fløyen will take around 4-5 hours on marked trails - and offer beautiful views along the way. The hike is a little steep in places, and you *do* need proper hiking boots.
The cable car departs every 7-10 minutes:
May and September 09 - 17
June - August 09 - 21
October and April 10 - 17 unless the weather is too bad..
Winter: open during weekends, if the weather is nice.
A guided, red double-decker bus runs every hour, 09-20 from mid June to August and 10-16 in May and first half of September - departure from Torgalmenningen 1 (near the Tourist Information Office) to the cable car.
Prices:
Bus + cable car: 150 NOK return
Cable car only: 90 NOK return / 50 one way
Children half price.

The walk from the city centre to the cable car will take ca 45 mins.Website: http://www.ulriken.no

 Cable Car on Mount Ulriken by LittleWonder
A popular hike from Ulriken is to walk across Vidden to Fløien. This takes 4-5 hours. Directions: Ulriken is on the edge of the city. You can get there by regular buses or the shuttle bus from the tourist information office.

 Up in Mount Ulriken - like a
Norwegian postcard by WanderingFinn, 4 more photos
Up on the hill there is no restaurant; in that sense Mt. Floyen was nicer place. It also had more places to sit and watch around - and buy postcards and souvenirs.
Naturally the view was very beautiful as whole city and even the fjords could be seen.
I wondered one fact: in the majority of the places there were no fences so those who travel with their kids should be aware all the time.

Out of Bergens seven mountains this is the highest at more than 800 m. There is a cable car (Ulriksbanen) going up to the top and a restaurant to relax after spending time walking. It is also possible to walk up the mountain although it is very steep and quite demanding. Walking down is far easier...
Ulriken is also the starting point for many longer walks either around the city or away from it to one of the many cabins around.
The view from the top is fantastic if the weather is nice and probably even better when it isn't, although this can mean that the cable car stops running. It can be very windy up there! Leave a Comment Directions: look up!

The only nice view is not only the one from the top, All along the way up (starting from the youth hostel Montana - from the center, take the bus n°34 I think), you will see various landscapes, discover several hidden lakes with very nice red wooden cabins...And once you reached the top, you can go down with stairs in the direction of Bergen and another barrage lake.
