Damsgårdsfjellet
Damsgårdsfjellet (317 m) is located to the west of the city center and is the lowest of the seven mountains. From the top you will have a nice view of the city, the city fjord, and the district of Fyllingsdalen.
Damsgårdfjellet is considered an easy hike. Some people claim Damsgårdfjellet is not a mountain in its own right, but exploring it can still be an adventure and the view is superb even though you are only 317 MASL.
A hike up Damsgårdsfjellet can start both from the west and the east. It’s low altitude, makes this "mountain" one of the easier hikes in Bergen, although there is another top point at the mountain to the south ranging 353 meters above sea level, called Olsokfjellet.
