This is a hiking trip between Fløyen and Ulriken for about 4-5 hours. Wear good clothes/hiking boots. Do not hike in bad weather or fog, as even local people tend to get lost in the fog.(I prefer to go from Ulriken to Fløyen and start with the cable car, but both ways are possible. Great views.

A very hard but short popular hike from Fjellveien up Stoltzekleiven. The more you climb the better views. About 20-25 minutes to the top at a modest pace. (The record is 8 minutes !!) People do not like that you go down the same way because it is quite narrow, but it is possible. Best to continue to mount Fløyen or to follow signs to "Skredderdalen" to walk down. From the top of Stoltzekleiven continue straight ahead until you come to a lake. Then go right and follow the signs.
