Trips from Bergen
Herdla , at Askøy
If you want to go on weekend trips from Bergen (the lovely city in the west) , you have 4 options. First of all, Herdla (Gone Paddling) are just 1 hour away from Bergen and can be easily be done in a day. The climb is not very heigh and perfect for beginners. They also have a spider net, two ziplines and a bridge to walk over.
Åkrafjorden
Your second option for a day trip is Kyrkjeveggen / Åkrafjorden . It takes 3,5 hours to drive from Bergen, so you have to wake up really early to do it in one day, but its possible. They also have a bed and breakfast if you want to sleep over. Åkrafjorden is a steep route with amazing view. I will really recommend to try it!
Himmelstigen to Trolltunga
Himmelstigen to Trolltunga is also 3 hours away, but the trip takes around 12 around, so I will recommend to sleep over in Odda. This quite different from the other ones. Not only because of the well known tourist attraction in the end, but also because you have to bike and walk to the beginning of the climb. Read more about the trip here.

The most well known the west coast is , which is 5 hours away from Bergen. The great thing about this place is that they have two different routes. One that everyone can join, and the other one that is the hardest via ferrata in Norway. Both routes are very fun and have great views!
The most important thing, dont try the hardest route in Loen called Ragnarok if you dont feel ready. Its crazy and the route will give you shaky knees! However, dont we always want a real challenge?
As a conclusion; Let’s go and have fun!
