Fløyen is the most civilised and easiest accessible of the mountains in and around Bergen. The trip up the mountain with the funicular (Fløibanen) from the city centre takes approx. 5-6 minutes or 30-45 minutes if one prefers to walk up. The official summit on Fløyfjellet is a further 20 minutes walk from the upper funicular station.
At the top there is a restaurant and a kiosk and a good view of Bergen and the surrounding fjords. During the summer of 2007 the viewing platform was rebuilt and is now much larger than it used to be.
Roads lead from the upper station to Rundemanen, Blåmanen and Sandviksfjellet. It is also possible to walk to Ulriken over Vidden, a walk which takes anything up to 5-6 hours.
