What to expect on your Floibanen Funicular ride?

1/5

Starting your journey

Begin at the Floibanen city station at Vetrlidsallmenningen 23A, in central Bergen. The station is only a few minutes from Bryggen and the Fish Market.

The ride up

Board one of Floibanen's two funicular cars and travel towards Mount Floyen. The direct journey takes approximately 5–8 minutes, with departures normally every 10–15 minutes and additional services during popular periods.

Your first view of Bergen

The upper station opens directly onto the Mount Floyen viewpoint area. At around 320m above sea level, it offers a quick way to gain elevation and take in Bergen from above.

More than a viewpoint

Don't treat the ride as the entire experience. Spend time at the summit, explore the playground and Troll Forest, stop at Floistuen Café or continue towards Skomakerdiket and Skomakerstuen.

Choose how much you ride

A round-trip ticket suits a straightforward visit, while the 1-Day Pass is useful if you plan to make multiple journeys during the same day. Families can choose the dedicated round-trip family option for up to 2 adults and 2 children aged 4–15.

Things to know before booking Floibanen Funicular tickets

Choose the right ticket type: The current booking options includes round-trip individual tickets, a 1-day pass and round-trip family tickets. Your choice mainly depends on how often you expect to use the funicular and who you're travelling with.
- Round-trip tickets: Round-trip individual tickets cover travel to Mount Fløyen and back to Bergen. They are the straightforward choice if you're planning one standard return visit.
- The 1-day pass: The 1-day pass provides unlimited funicular rides up or down for one individual for one day. Choose it when you expect to use Fløibanen more than once during your visit.
- Round-trip family tickets: This ticket covers a family of up to 2 adults and 2 children aged 4–15. Children under 4 travel free when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.
Skips the ticket-office queue: Buying online or through the app lets you avoid the ticket-purchase queue and proceed to the station gates. It does not guarantee immediate boarding, so a boarding queue can still remain during busy periods.
Midday is the busiest period: Floibanen identifies 10am–2pm as its busiest period, with waits of around 15–20 minutes. If your schedule is flexible, earlier or later travel is a better option for reducing queue risk.
The ride is short, so plan your summit time: The funicular journey takes only around 5–8 minutes. Most visitors who add a viewpoint stop and short walk spend approximately 1.5–3 hours around the experience.
Intermediate stations have a summer restriction: From 15 June to 31 August, intermediate stations are served only every full hour between 9am and 3pm. This matters if you plan to use one of the intermediate stations rather than simply travelling between the city and Mount Fløyen.

Tips & guidelines for visiting Floibanen Funicular

Don't treat the ride as the entire experience. The funicular takes only a few minutes, so plan a viewpoint stop, family activity or short walk.
Walk to Skomakerdiket if time allows. The approximately 10-minute walk adds a quieter nature element to a short Fløibanen visit.
Families should allow extra summit time. The playground, Troll Forest and nature-play areas make a quick return less worthwhile for children.
Check conditions if accessibility matters. The funicular and core facilities are accessible, but snow and freezing temperatures can affect trail usability.
Keep dogs on a leash on Mount Floyen trails. Dogs travel free on Floibanen but must remain leashed on the trails.
Check the bike rules before travelling. Bikes are permitted only from 1 October to 31 March to intermediate stations, subject to space. E-bikes and e-scooters are not allowed.
If using an intermediate station in summer, plan ahead. Between 15 June and 31 August, intermediate stations operate only hourly from 9am–3pm.
Check the operating status before your visit. Opening hours, maintenance closures, and service schedules can change.
