Want to spend an afternoon exactly the way the locals do? In true Norwegian fashion, the best pastries in Oslo are found at a cabin in the forest. Couple that with a hike and perhaps a refreshing swim in a clean forest lake and it is a perfect afternoon!
This is how you experience true Norwegian culture! After meeting your guide at our tour center in central Oslo, we take the scenic train ride up to Frognerseteren. Here you get a fantastic view of the city, the Oslo fjord, and its many islands!
From here, we hike through the forest to Tryvann (three lakes), home to the lakeside Tryvannstua cabin cafe. Along the way, you will surely pass Norwegians walking their dogs, out with their families, or enjoying a forest jog. At Tryvann there is a bathing jetty for those who want to swim in a refreshing lake in the forest, or you can sit down and enjoy the summer sun.
While we are at Tryvannsstua we MUST stop by and buy fresh pastries and a coffee! Or maybe a waffle and hot chocolate are more tempting? This is not just a tourist spot - stopping at a cabin cafe while out hiking or skiing is what Norwegians do on their days off.
After the break we continue further down through Nordmarka, enjoying the peace of the forest and chirping of birds. Maybe we will meet a squirrel or other small animals, or if we are lucky maybe a deer or a moose! We end our trip at Woxen where we take the bus back to Oslo city center. Trips like this are an integral part of Norway’s outdoor culture - join the fun!

When In Norway
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 will lead the way, sharing interesting facts about the local area.
