The journey begins outside Oslo Visitor Centre at the bustling Jernbanetorget. Participants will board the Frognerseteren metro for a scenic ride with winter landscape views. Reaching Frognerseteren station, behold the initial panoramic city and fjord view. Save awe for Vettakollen mountain; there, gaze over Oslo and the fjord. Wind through the winter forest, passing frozen ponds inhabited by Huldra.
The first stop is next to Fuglemyrhytta. This is a great place to take a break, absorb the stunning views and learn about cultural importance of these places in Norwegian society. The trek continues through snow-laden forests to Vettakollen's summit, where breathtaking views of the city and Oslofjord await. Breathe in the crisp winter air and capture the memory with a photo.
The summit is the highlight of this hiking trip, so pause, learn about the area, and embrace "hygge," a Norwegian way of life. After savouring the panorama, descend to the metro station, concluding the journey at Jernbanetorget.
