Discover Bergen's Viking heritage on our Sea to Summit Tour, revealing the city's rich past and fascinating Norse legacy. While Bergen is known for its Hanseatic history, few know it was founded by a Viking king and once served as a royal seat. It’s also home to the world’s largest collection of ancient runes. Your adventure begins by the sea in Bergen's historic center, where Viking seafarers once walked. From there, journey to one of the city’s most iconic landmarks: Mount Ulriken, the first location in Bergen named by the Vikings. The tour includes roundtrip transportation with bus and cable car tickets for a seamless and comfortable ascent. At the summit, enjoy panoramic views of the city, fjords, and mountains—once navigated by Viking explorers. Explore hiking trails, try mountaintop activities, or enjoy lunch at your own pace. Open return tickets let you descend whenever you choose. This tour blends history, nature, and adventure for a deeper look at Bergen’s Viking roots.

    The best

    Anna was amazing. Her guide bailed on her, but as a true genuine owner, she showed up herself to make it up for me. And was an amazing tour and even better the knowledge & insights she has about Bergen. Inspirational business owner and a great guide too.

    Response from the operator: Hi Yogesh Thank you for your review. Born and raised in Bergen, Anne has a lot of knowledge and love for our beautiful city. We are so happy to hear that you had a great time on your tour and that you enjoyed Annes extensive knowledge on our history and culture. We hope you learned a lot and bring many lovely memories with you back home. Best wishes for all your future outdoor adventures to come Bergen Base Camp crew.

    The last Viking tour worth Anna

    Very informative and lots of fun. Anna was full of interesting facts about Vikings and Bergen. She flexed the tour to meet our interests and we loved the cable car ride up Ulriken mountain. The best laugh was had with the very crazy axe throwing - which was an unplanned but much enjoyed addition to the tour. Anna was very personal, entertaining and huge fun to be with. We loved every moment! Would highly recommend!!!! 💚

    Response from the operator: Hi 973magsw Thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear that you had lots of fun on your Sea to Summit tour with Anne. She is so happy you enjoyed your experience. There are many traces after the vikings in Bergen and we love to take our guests on a little discovery of this very special part of our history. We hope the axe throwing connected you with your own inner viking, and that the views over the "realm", made lasting memories of your visit in beautiful Bergen. Thank you for recommending this to other travelers. Best wishes for all your future outdoor adventures to come. Bergen Base Camp crew.

    Fun tour!

    We had a great time on this tour! Ana was lovely. We ended up being the only 2 people on the tour, so she tailored the information she shared with us so it didn't repeat what we had already seen/done in Bergen. The views from the top of Mount Ulriken were absolutely beautiful! And we got to try some axe throwing which was a lot of fun!

    Response from the operator: Hi Heather Thank you for your review. Anne is truly a great mediator of history and culture, and especially from Bergen, her hometown. We are happy to hear that you had a great time together with her on the Sea to Summit/Last Viking tour. And we agree, the view from the top is stunning. We hope you left Bergen with a lifetime of memories and a greater understanding of our history and culture. Best wishes for all your future outdoor adventures to come. Bergen Base Camp crew.

    Sea to Summit | The Last Viking: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.

    How much does Sea to Summit | The Last Viking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sea to Summit | The Last Viking take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.

    Is Sea to Summit | The Last Viking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sea to Summit | The Last Viking?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sea to Summit | The Last Viking suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sea to Summit | The Last Viking?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sea to Summit | The Last Viking start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bergen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bergen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bergen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sea to Summit | The Last Viking?

    +

    Included: Return Mt. Ulriken cable car; and Bus from the city center to Ulriken Cable car and return. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sea to Summit | The Last Viking?

    +

    Right by the entrance to Bergenhus Fortress Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Sea to Summit | The Last Viking offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Chinese, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sea to Summit | The Last Viking?

    +

    Is Sea to Summit | The Last Viking wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Sea to Summit | The Last Viking if the weather is bad?
