About this audio guide
This guide to Ulriken643, the cable car summit above Bergen, starts on a spring evening in nineteen eighty-six, when a sixteen-year-old singer stepped onto a Eurovision stage down in the city. It reaches back to a cathedral vicar in the seventeen-nineties, an old French minuet, and a poem about the view from this very peak. Along the way you'll hear why a whole football stadium gets to its feet. Best heard at the summit railing, looking down over the harbour.
