Step away from the busy city centre and discover a quieter side of Oslo on this private hiking adventure through forests, lakes and historic trails. Ending at the world-famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump, this experience combines nature, local history and some of the city's finest viewpoints.
After meeting your guide in central Oslo, you'll travel by metro into the hills above the city, where the hiking route begins. The journey itself offers excellent views before you arrive amongst forests, lakes and peaceful walking trails rarely visited by tourists.
The walk takes you past Øvresetertjern Lake and along sections of historic routes once used for international winter sports events. Along the way you'll enjoy woodland scenery, learn about Oslo's deep connection with skiing and pass landmarks including Frognerseteren, Midtstubakken Ski Jump and Holmenkollen Chapel.
The highlight of the tour is arriving at the iconic Holmenkollen Ski Jump, one of Norway's most recognised sporting landmarks. After taking time to admire the impressive structure and surrounding views, you'll return to the city by metro with a new appreciation for Oslo's outdoor culture and natural surroundings.
This experience operates exclusively as a private tour, making it ideal for couples, families and small groups looking for a more personalised adventure.

Despite being easily accessible from central Oslo, the area feels remarkably peaceful. Forest paths, lakes and open viewpoints provide a completely different atmosphere from the city centre, making it a favourite destination for both locals and visitors.
