Join us for a magical nighttime stroll by torchlight through the snow covered forests high above Oslo.
On our tours, guests' safety always comes first. On this tour we move through the forest with live fire. If the guide assesses the situation or the weather in such a way that it challenges the guests' safety, we will not use torches. We still wander through the forest, and end up lighting a campfire.
Your adventure begins in the heart of Oslo, where your guide will meet you in front of Backstube Opera, just near the Central Station. From there, we’ll hop on the metro, passing through charming neighborhoods on our way to Frognerseteren Station, perched 500 meters above the fjord.
After a few moments to enjoy the stunning view of the city lights below, it's time to start your adventure and head off into the night! We will take a short walk over to the frozen Øvresetertjern Lake, where you will enjoy a cozy campfire - Norwegian style.
Around the fire you will enjoy some hot drinks, good conversation, roast marshmallows and watch the flames dance off the snow and ice as you have a moment of what Scandinavians like to call "hygge".
After some time, we will safely put out the fire, each guest will be given a hand-held flame torch - and after a quick safety briefing, we’ll set off into the winter wilderness.
The forest comes alive in the glow of our torches as we take a leisurely walk through the snowy landscape. The snow sparkles like fresh-cut gems, and the moonlight dances on the trees while the warm light from our torches adds a magical glow to the surroundings. Along the way, your guide will share stories and interesting facts about the area, with plenty of opportunities to stop and capture the beauty around you.
The walk will last about 45 minutes and will end by the metro which takes us back to civilization. The entire experience, including transportation time, lasts about three and a half hours.
All guests are recommended to bring gloves with them.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful hike through the snow-laden forest or an adrenaline-pumping adventure on ice, our winter tours in Oslo and its surrounding beautiful nature have something for everyone. Welcome to the winter wonderland in the forest high above Oslo city! The locals call this region Oslomarka, which means Oslo's forest.
