Stop At: Oslomarka, Oslo Ost Frognerseteren, Oslo 687 Norway
As we reach the Frognerseteren station, we will be greeted by our first panoramic view of the city and fjord. If you think this view is great, just wait until we get to our destination of Vettakollen mountain where we will look down over the city of Oslo and the surrounding fjord. We will wind our way through the winter forest landscape and along small frozen ponds that are inhabited by the mystical creature named Huldra. Our first stop on our adventure will be near a small Norwegian cabin called Fuglemyrhytta - this is a cozy spot to relax and take in the views. Our guide will tell you about the importance of these cabins in Norwegian culture.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Vettakollen Viewpoint, Oslo 0890 Norway
From there our adventure will continue through the snow laden forest to the most spectacular spot of our journey – the summit of Vettakollen mountain offering breathtaking views of the city and the Oslofjord. Take in the crisp winter air and don't forget to take a photo to capture this special memory.
Here we will enjoy a break while learning about the beautiful area we are looking down upon. Experiencing a moment like this with good company and "hygge" is something embedded in Norwegian life.
After enjoying the view, we will go down to the metro station and finish our trip at Jernbanetorget.

Had a brilliant few hours. Patricia our tour guide was lovely, helpful and very knowledgeable on our journey. Loved the experience of walking in the snow with our snowshoes and poles.

Very nice hiking experience through a nice winter landscape and with great views over Oslo with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! The spikes provided by the guide were easy to put on and made walking on ice and snow feel easy and safe. Speed and terrain are suitable for beginners or families with children, too. Food and drinks provided by Oslo hiking were delicious, too!

We really enjoyed the 4 hour winter walk tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, helping us to better understand local culture while exploring the amazing nature just outside of Oslo City Centre. My only recommendation would be to offer this tour with varying levels of difficulty, as we would have liked a bit more strenuous hike, but didn't have the knowledge to go ourselves.

It was much more than what I was expecting. So much snow every view looked outstanding.
I would have loved to spend a night up in the cabin

Un muy agradable paseo por el monte nevado de Oslo donde pudimos disfrutar de la naturaleza y unas vistas geniales de la ciudad.
Lo mejor del tour fue sin duda el guía, Moustapha, no solo hizo el tour divertido y entretenido, también nos dío muchos consejos y recomendaciones.
Hicimos el tour en invierno y todo estaba nevado y precioso, por nuestra parte que somos jovenes hubieramos seguido 1 o 2 horas mas en ruta pero en general muy buena experiencia. Dificultad para niños y adultos muy adecuada, pero no la recomendaría para gente mayor si no tiene experiencia, puede haber hielo y zonas resbaladizas.
