Frognesteren was easily accessible by the Metro. Fantastic views and a gorgeous restaurant and Cafe at the top. The Metro also takes you to the Ski Jump Museum but we could see the jump and didn't bother with the museum. We had a fantastic walk but good footwear necessary as it can be pretty slippery!

This is not a mountainous trip, so expect up and down most of the time. The tracks are good. It's crowded these days.

There is no snow, not too wet, and actually quite sunny today. It is a brisk 45 min hike to a short Sunday service.

Very nice hikes, both in winter and in summer. There are signals pointing to the different trails. Some hikes start right by the metro stations, so pretty easy to get there. Others require walking much more to the trailhead.

Don't overthink it. The trails at Oslomarka are very straightforward. Signs at every crossroad. Follow blue marks. Beautiful nature.

With a day on my own, I decided to take the advice of the tourist info lady and catch the metro 1 to the very end at Frognersetteren, and blindly follow the blue markers to the end of another metro line (5) at Sonnsvahn lake. Difficult to follow but somehow did it in less than 4 hours, with a scenic lunch stop at a hillside cafe. Beautiful walking in the woodlands and across bogs and by by lakes, including lovely views, wildflowers and even a female elk (aka moose). Fantastic- lots more walking to do should I go back!

Oslo is surrounded by wilderness - the big forrest (Marka) with trials, lakes - all accessible for everybody and it starts with short rides by public transportation from the center of town. Thanks to every persons right to go (almost) wherever he/she likes (Allemannsretten) - you can camp, fish, bath (almost) everywhere.

How do I get there via metro (I.e. which stop)? Also, are there places for lunch, hire bikes etc? Planning on visiting in May. Thank you!

Oslo has citybikes. Best area for lunch is Grunerløkka. Oslomarka is available by metro in many places and lines. May is perfect. 15-20 degrees. Usually nice weather.
Hallo, ich bin nächste Woche in Oslo. Möchte Rundtour Ski Sognsvann fahren und suche Ausleihstation für Ski-Ausrüstung . Anreise öffentlich. Wer kann mir Infos geben? Danke

Kann Ihnen leider nicht helfen. Bei Sognsvann gibt es jedenfalls keine Ausleihe. Bitte wenden Sie sich an das Fremdenverkehrsamt von Oslo. Es müsste oben bei Holmenkollen etwas geben.

Hi Lindar, you can easily reach the Marka from downtown Oslo, either with metro n. 1 to Frognerseteren or with metro n. 3 to Sognsvann. Also, many buses reaches other localities in the Marka. If you plan a longer walk with an overnight stay you will probably need a map and detailed info. You can take your tent or book a place in a DNT's cabin. Go to the DNT shop in Storgata 3, or look the: w w w outdoorlife . dntoslo . no website.
Trails are well marked and in summer you can follow the blue-marked ones. Try to avoid the red-marked ones since they are winter tracks for cross-country ski, sometimes crossing lakes and wetlands that in winter are frozen, but not in summer.
Enjoy your walk!

Hi! How does one get to oslomarka via train from the central station area? And would this trip be included in the "24 hour ticket"? I will be visiting in a few days, thanks!

Yes, you get all info. you need at the central station, it takes 30 minutes to reach oslomarka with from there. Easiest is to take the metro to Sognsvann and start from there. Yes, 23 hours ticket is good.

Hei I'd like to visit Oslomarka in August. I have a few questions: 1. Is Oslomarka the name of a park or resort? Or is it a general term for wooded areas bordering Oslo? 2. Is it the same as the Sommerpark? 3. Is taking the subway line 1 to the end the easiest way to get there? 3. Can anyone recommend a specific hike that would take most of the day? Any hikes to waterfalls? Thanks!

Hello, (I can only answer this as a fellow tourist so you'll probably get a better response from a native, but I'll give it my best)
1. Oslo marka is indeed the general term for the wooded area in the north of Oslo.
2. Oslo sommerparken is only a small part of the marka. It is an adventural and recreational park with lots of activities, like a beautiful Climbing area, with lots of rope courses and ziplines.
3. The last stop of subway line 1 is indeed the best way to get there.
4. You can take several hikes in the marka, they are all marked very well and go deep through the Woods. I don't know if you can see any waterfalls.. The best thing you can do is visit the visitorcentre near the central station in Oslo, they are very kind and very helpful! You can also get your Ruter Reisekort there, it's an all in pass for public transportation. I highly recommend public transportation there.
Hope you'll have an as awesome time as we had!
kind regards.
