What's included in Mountain Hike to Traditional Cabin
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Dates are flexible due to weather We will start by Fløibanen lower station, we'll take the funicular up to Mount Fløyen. From there I'll take you on a hike further up the mountain. There are many beautiful spots on the way up. Reaching Rundemanen (568m), I'll take you off the main path, we'll hike for an additional 15 min on a secluded path leading to a small hidden cabin. The cabin is over 100 years old, and there is no running water nor electricity. We have to rely on a big fire place for warmth. In the summer when it’s warm we can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Here we'll have hot chocolate/coffee made on a gas stove. While we get warm around the fire I will talk about the history of the cabin and the nearby areas. After spending some time in the cabin, we'll return back to the city. Depending on the weather we have multiple choices for our return path.
