7-fjellsturen – Bergen's best-known hike

The hike is held on the last Sunday in May each year and was first completed in 1948. Today, several thousand people take part on the official event day.

The route starts in Gravdal and crosses the mountains Lyderhorn, Damsgårdsfjellet, Løvstakken, Ulriken, Fløyen, Rundemanen and Sandviksfjellet. The hike ends at the offices of Bergen og Hordaland Turlag in Marken.

The hike is known for being challenging due to the varied and rugged terrain, as well as the total distance. The route usually takes 10 hours to complete, depending on your pace and fitness level. It is important to be well prepared with the right equipment, including sturdy hiking boots, food, water and clothing suitable for the weather conditions.

7-fjellsturen is a great way to experience the natural surroundings of Bergen while also getting a good workout.

If you would rather avoid the crowds, consider completing the hike outside the official event day.
