Take time to admire the scenery, capture memorable photographs, and appreciate the contrast between the peaceful forest and the city below. On clear days, the panorama offers a beautiful perspective on Oslo’s unique combination of urban life, forests, and fjord landscapes.

No winter adventure would be complete without a cosy break. Take a moment to slow down and enjoy a warm drink accompanied by a Norwegian waffle.

This simple pleasure adds a taste of Norwegian outdoor culture to your experience and offers a welcoming pause during your time in the forest. Enjoy the warmth, take in your surroundings, and make the most of your escape into nature.

Norwegian winters can be unpredictable, and snow conditions may change throughout the season. For this reason, the experience is adapted to the conditions on the day.

If there is not enough suitable snow for snowshoeing, the route will automatically adapt and use alternative winter equipment, such as ice cleats or walking poles, as appropriate. This allows you to enjoy the best possible outdoor experience without relying on snow conditions alone.

Even when the trails are snow-free or icy, the forest scenery and journey towards Vettakollen can still make for a beautiful nature experience. Enjoy the woodland, fresh air, panoramic surroundings, and a cosy refreshment break while following a route suited to the conditions.

Leave the city behind and immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of the Norwegian forest. With scenic fjord views, the chance to experience snowshoeing, and a warm drink and waffle along the way, this adventure combines nature, local flavours, and the simple pleasures of winter outdoors.
