Private Tour
Oslo Nature walks: Forest to Fjord
Overview
Available languages
4 hours
Mobile ticket
Perched hundreds of meters above Oslo and its fjord, the wilderness of Oslo is an amazing get-away from the city, for those in search of peace and quiet. You will hike from one amazing view point to another, stopping along the way at some amazing architecture (the Holmenkollen ski jump and the national historic landmark farm of Frognerseteren). There will be time to pick berries, picnic on a bare summit and maybe see a moose if lucky! The tour then ends at a forest lake perfect for a swim. This tour is for participants with a good fitness level. Trail shoes or hiking boots are recommended.

What To Expect
One of Oslo's most traditional buildings, showing typical Norwegian rural architecture within the city limits. It is also possible to buy food and drink here for the picnic later in the day.

5.00This was a really nice tour for me and my family exploring different islands in the fiord. Thanks a lot to Astrid and Christian that explained a lot of historical and contemporary facts in an interesting way. I would strongly recommend! Greetings from Roberto, Claudia and Luca.
Views well worth the hike

5.00The Oslo Nature Walk definitely did not disappoint. From the ever-changing views of the city and surroundings while the Metro Ride ascended upward from sea level to approximately 500 metres, were just the initial introduction to the Walk. Hiking through the dense forest, rocky paths, and alongside a large marsh led to majestic, expansive views of the fjord, islands and ski jumps. Romek made the Walk even more interesting with insights and stimulating conversation around life in Oslo, particular places and sights not to be missed while in Norway, and the local and national history. We would recommend the Oslo Nature Walk - and particularly our guide, Romek. Thanks again for a great day !!
Once In A Lifetime Hike & Experience!

4.00I did the hike with my 13 year old son who is your typical couch-bound city kid. He is now in love with nature and planning to walk and hike regularly. I myself missed the strong connection to nature I had grown up with as a child and this trip emphasised the need to make it a regular part of our lives. Well done, Norway! Thank you Viking Biking for the inspiration! Only one suggestion to the organisers: advise participants to have a late breakfast or an early lunch and/or to take snacks to munch when needed. The promised picnic stop was at 4pm, and we'd had breakfast at 8am and no lunch. I'd just skip the picnic from the walk!
A great hike and experience!

5.00We loved the time we spent walking through the mountains. It was beautiful and scenic- so much variety. It is not an easy hike though, so be prepared to be challenged!
Excellent tour for nature lovers

5.00The guide was super friendly and helpful and knew the route very well. The place is beautiful and super well served by transportation. The number of hours is the perfect balance for this type of tour. I highly recommend for those who like to experience in Mood of pure nature.
Great Day in Norwegian Forest

5.00We took a private tour with Christian on Friday, May 11. Although the weather did not look good, we decided to continue. The day turned out to be perfect! Christian was a wonderful guide - he shared so many things about Norway's culture and history as we spent 7+ hours together. We enjoyed every minute of our day and will return to Viking Biking and Hiking when we return to Oslo. We previously did the Island Hopping with Curtis and Christian. It was also fantastic!
