We’ll start our adventure in the heart of Oslo, meeting near the famous Tiger statue at Jernbanetorget. From there, we’ll hop on a train to Sognsvann, an idyllic lake tucked away in the woods. It’s only 20 minutes from the city center, but feels like a world away! In just a short ride, you’ll find yourself surrounded by untouched forest—just as it has been for centuries.
After a forest walk, we’ll gather around a cozy campfire by the lakeside. Here, we’ll teach you the art of making fire in the wild, share stories about Norwegian outdoor traditions, and dive into the local way of life. It’s also the perfect moment to taste some classic Norwegian treats—think of it as a true taste of the outdoors!

Join us on a winter adventure! Whether you're looking for a peaceful hike through the snow-laden forest or an adrenaline-pumping adventure on ice, our winter tours in Oslo and its surrounding beautiful nature have something for everyone. Welcome to the winter wonderland in the forest high above Oslo city! The locals call this region Oslomarka, which means Oslo's forest. We offer a variety of hiking tours and activities that will make your winter experience truly unforgettable. People often say that winter in Oslo is dark and cold, but for those of us living here it is often our favorite time of year.
There is nothing like the feeling of walking among the snow-covered trees, breathing the crisp winter air, warming up by the fire and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of hygge. Our knowledgeable guides at Oslo Hiking will lead the way, sharing interesting facts about the local area.
