what a lovely lifestyle Norwegians can have in Oslo. I highly recommend taking the Holmenkollen metro line and get off at Frognerseteren. Many lovely walks in the woods and a nice restaurent overlooking the city is well worth a visit. Great for the whole family and in the winter there is a thriving ski/sledging resort..

You should not miss a walk in the Oslomarka while visiting Oslo. Every T and many bus lines ends close to Oslomarka, which allows easy access to an enourmous network of roads and paths in the forest surrounding Oslo. You may choose to walk 1 km or 50 km, it is up to you. You will meet few other people... More

Oslomarka is a great area were you can go skiing in winter and hiking in summer. It lies right on the doorstep of Oslo. Just a short tram ride from the city centre.

Located right outside Oslo Central, and accesible by tram and bus. This is ideal for running, bicycling and skiing. Check skiforeningen.no for recommended routes.

Oslomarka is the common term for the forests surrounding Oslo. Not many capital cities offers this opportunity. Just 15-20 minutes by underground, train or tram from the busy city centre streets and you find yourself in the middle of the forest where you are free to raom at your own leisure. Many small lakes, fishing, biking, walking, skiing....and lots of... More

This is why I love living in Oslo. The eace and quite of these easy- access woods is Oslos best feature. Go for a jog, go for a picnic or go for a full week of hiking, camping and fishing. Winter or summer - this is our playground. The most truly Norwegian experience is the Sunday walk with a thermos... More
