Discover the winter beauty of Norway on a snow hike from Olso to Vettakollen. Trek through the forest and along rivers while learning about Norwegian culture.

Your trip starts with a scenic train ride aboard the Frognerseteren metro. As you reach the Frognerseteren Station, you'll be greeted by your first panoramic view of the city and fjord. If you think this view is great, wait until you reach your destination in Vettakollen.

Back on foot, wind your way through the winter forest landscape and along small frozen ponds that are inhabited by the mystical creature named Huldra. Your first stop on the adventure will be near a small Norwegian cabin called Fuglemyrhytta. This is a cozy spot to relax and take in the views.

Hear about the importance of these cabins in Norwegian culture from your guide, then continue to the most beautiful spot of the journey – the summit of the Vettakollen mountain. Take in the crisp winter air, and don't forget to snap a photo to capture this special memory.

At the summit, take a break while learning about the area you are looking down upon. Experiencing a moment like this with good company and the cozy comfort of “hygge” is something embedded in Norwegian life.

After enjoying the view, return to the metro station and finish the trip at Jernbanetorget in Olso.
