Det er høysesong for toppturer på ski og det er fortsatt godt med snø i flere områder i nærheten av Bergen. Vi var nylig på skitur til fjelltoppen Oksen i Hardanger. En opplevelse utenom det vanlige! Utsikt fra Oksen, 1241 m.o.h. mot Hardangerfjorden. Hardanger er en perle med mange muligheter for turer i fantastiske omgivelser i fjord og fjell. Bor du i…
I love running in Bergen, because the city has short distances and running here gives a lot of variety in a short space of time. One can actually run in Bergen city and still have a very scenic run pretty close to nature. In Bergen the nearest view point somewhere is usually not far away. The Store Lungegårdsvannet seen from Fjellveien with…
Fjellveien is a road slightly up the hill from Bergen town offering spectacular views. Running or walking in Fjellveien is popular among locals, and the length of Fjellveien is about 4,5 km one way. I particularly like this route on sunny evenings, as the beautiful Bergen sunsets are seen very well from Fjellveien. The view towards west gives a unique sight of…

All the seven mountains are relatively easily accessible, which is great if you are interested in a bit of hiking whilst in Bergen. It is…
Når snøen blir varm og våt på vestlandet kan det være hensiktsmessig å reise litt lenger til fjells der nattefrosten fortsatt regjerer. Det er uvanlig mye snø og lave temperaturer i høyfjellet om dagen. Det betyr fortsatt gode topptur muligheter i store deler av Sør-Norge, og snøen vil bli liggende i ukesvis fremover. Du vil kanskje benytte deg av muligheten til å…

Running is a great way to discover Bergen and at the same time get some exercise. I love running in Bergen, because the city has short distances and running there gives a lot of variety in a short space of time. If you do not have much time to explore Bergen a run can reveal more than you would get to see…
