I've been working in the city of Bergen since 2013. I usually go home for the weekends, unless I'm on call. On this particular weekend I remained in Bergen, however, and so I decided to climb Mount Ulriken again to get some recreation after a busy week at work. There is a rather steep path through the forest beneath the cable car, which I followed up the mountain side. From about 400 m.a.m.s.l. there's suddenly no more forest, but the path continues up the mountain side, and then follows a little mountain ridge till you're almost on top of the mountain. The last 50 elevation meters before you reach the end station of the cable car is again a bit steep, but not in a manner that will cause any trouble for you if you're just a little bit experienced with mountain trekking. For the descent I followed the above mountain ridge down again, and in stead of taking the trail beneath the cable car, I just continued further down along the ridge, down to an area called Montana, from where there's a paved road/trail down to where I had started my hike.
