Cycling day trip from Bergen to Hagavik

Set off from the heart of Bergen—Norway’s famously scenic and rainy harbor city—on this ride to Hagavik, a small village located south of the city in Vestland county. You’re covering just over 40 km, so it’s a solid half-day adventure or a hearty commute.

The route features plenty of cycling-friendly infrastructure, with most of your journey on separate cycleways and quiet roads, making it ideal for a relaxed ride while enjoying the views. There’s a respectable 525 meters of climbing overall, so your legs will get a bit of a workout, but nothing too crazy—maximum elevation stays under 100 meters.

Leaving behind Bergen’s UNESCO-listed wharf and mountain backdrops, you’ll soon be immersed in suburban and rural landscapes. Hagavik greeting you at the finish is a peaceful coastal spot, known for its maritime surroundings and local history. Most of your ride is on paved or asphalt roads, so you won’t need special tires.

Pack a rain jacket (this is Western Norway, after all), some snacks, and get rolling on a route that offers a perfect blend of city, fjord views, and country charm!
