Heisan og velkommen til Bergen! My name is Thierry and I live in Bergen, Norway. Many years ago, I came to visit the city and fell in love. Few months later, that little inner voice, that was constantly questioning me about the purpose of my life, pushed me to change! I couldn't continue to ignore it and decided to move to Norway and start something new! Since then I became an authorized guide for the city of Bergen and have been doing few-hours-sightseeing excursions in the city as well as multiple-days-trips with both small private groups and up to 100-persons groups all over Norway. I take a tremendous pleasure in showing my new home town and the amazing sceneries we have in the region! I'm also keen on sharing stories with visitors on culture, history and what make Bergen a unique city. Apart working as a guide, I also work as a CrossFit L2 trainer in a gym which is my second passion. As hobby I enjoy taking photographs. Bergen is a colorful city with an autenthic Norwegian spirit and has a small-town charm and atmosphere. It is the perfect gateway to visit the two most important fjords of Norway that are accessible in a day trip from the city. Bergen is famous for the seven mountains surrounding the city centre, the Hanseatic Wharf, the fish market, the composers Edvard Grieg and Ole Bull and contemporary musicians like Kygo and the band A-HA! I can suggest tours or help you plan that exclusive, individual and personal itinerary which is exactly to your liking (or dedicated to your interests), informative, and above all, fun. I will guide you in Bergen or into our superb countryside and typical fjords. So welcome again to Bergen and let's make your time here fantastic!

Enjoying nature is coded in the Norwegian DNA and the situation of Bergen make this activity very accessible as the city center is right by a chain of mountains. On this tour we will hike like real "Bergensere" (locals) by taking less crowed paths and avoiding the mass tourism. We will aim on going on top of 3 of the 7 mountains of Bergen. Depending on the weather conditions and/or upon your request we can: -shorten the hike -find alternative less challenging way -take the funicular down to the city center -start the opposite way Be sure to be in a good physical condition before booking this tour. This tour can be tailored on request to match your expectations.
Thierry was a wonderful guide. We hiked up the mountain and he shared lots of his great knowledge of the area as we hiked. I would recommend this tour and Thierry if you want some adventure and great views in Bergen. He also gave us great recommendations for free time and a terrific dinner location. We were so impressed that we booked another tour with him.
Thierry was immediately engaging, good humored, and a joy to hike with - he even gave chances to catch my breathe ��. I would highly recommend booking Thierry for hikes in the future. Thanks!
From the city center we will reach our starting point at the bottom of the famous Stoltzekleiven, a steep paved trail and stairs with approximately 722 steps up to Sandviksfjellet. Locals like to run up that trail: the best time in 07'46! We will plan on walking up in about half an hour. At the summit (313m/1027ft) we will enjoy a wonderful view of Bergen, its fjord and the islands around. From there, through the woods and following several of the many mountain lakes, we will continue toward Rundemanen (568m/1864ft) for a photo stop. Then we will head down toward Fløyen (320m/1050ft) where you will get to see another amazing panorama of the city and its surroundings.
