Nordmarka Forest and Holmenkollen
|
The vast areas of untouched nature that surround Oslo are only 20 minutes from the city center. They represent a source of recreation that the city’s inhabitants use a lot, but also increasingly by visitors, both in summer and winter. Can any other capital cities offer skiing, kayaking, skating, and island hopping – all within the city limits? |

The Association for the Promotion of Skiing, The Norwegian Trekking Association Oslo, and The Agency of Outdoor recreation and Nature management have many cabins in the forests in northern Oslo that are open throughout the year (check the opening hours before you go). Some are unserviced cabins that one can use if one has the key, while others serve lovely home-baked snacks for hungry hikers and skiers. Some also offer accommodation with meals included. |
