Experience Oslo’s winter beauty on a private guided hike to the snowy summit of Vettakollen. Start in the city center and ride the metro into quiet, frost‑covered hills before following a gentle forest trail through silent trees and frozen lakes. Because this is a private tour, the pace is entirely yours — slow and scenic, active and adventurous, or anything in between.
At the top, enjoy one of Oslo’s most impressive winter panoramas, with sweeping views over the city and the Oslofjord. Take your time for photos, peaceful moments, and a special treat: a hot chocolate at the summit.
With flexible pacing, a dedicated guide, and calm winter landscapes, this private hike offers a deeply personal and unforgettable seasonal experience.
What's Included
