Highlights
- Lillevann - The hiking tour to Holmenkollen starts outside Oslo Visitor Centre at Jernbanetorget. You will meet the local guide, and together you will take the metro line Frognerseteren to Lillevann. Even before the hiking, you can see that the view from the subway on the way up the hill is worth the trip alone, so don’t forget to take pictures! Will hike past idyllic Lillevann and then down to Frognerseteren restaurant.
- Holmenkollen - The trip follows part of the 50-kilometer trail, down a toboggan run from the first Luge World Championship in 1955, past Midtstubakken and further down to Holmenkollen Chapel. The highlight of this hiking tour is without doubt the majestic Holmenkollen ski jump, one of the most famous sport arenas in the world. You will then stroll down to the metro station and finish the trip at Jernbanetorget, where you started.

Great - Excellent experience Mustafa is a great guide explaining many things during the walk. Adapting his rhythm to the group or the person if so needed. Talking and yet being discret if needed.

Highly recommended easy walk with stunning views - Everything was perfect. The company was super helpful and adjusted the start time specially to suit us. Our guide Mustafa was a really interesting person to talk to and gave us information about the features of our walk - plants, buildings, views. The train journey up to the area is scenic, and the walk itself is easy. We had lovely weather and there were locals roller-skiing and hiking everywhere - we felt like we were doing what local people would do on a Sunday morning.
