What To Expect
Our trip starts at our tour center in downtown Oslo. From there, we’ll board the metro, and enjoy a scenic train ride through the stunning winter landscape. As we leave the city behind, the views over the fjord will unfold before you, setting the stage for a day of exploration. After disembarking the train at Frognerseteren, you will put on snowshoes and your guide will give you all the instructions you need. As we walk through the snowy forests, you'll feel the crunch of the snow beneath you and breathe in the fresh, chilly air. It's like stepping into a magical winter wonderland! We will be with you every step of the way, showing you the best spots and sharing interesting facts about the Norwegian winter traditions and animals that call this place home. Keep an eye out for deer, foxes, and other wildlife as we make our way through the forest. After experiencing the beauty of the winter forest, we will make our way back to the metro station and finish our adventure in central Oslo, where our journey began. This is sure to be an experience you never forget!

5.00Great experience! The snowshoes honestly felt like flip flops which was interesting. Peter our guide was very friendly and gave us advice for other nearby activities as well. The activity was strenuous and although it was snowing, being bundled up we got hot pretty quickly!
Amazing!!

5.00We recently did the snowshoe tour with When in Norway and it was nothing short of amazing! Our guide Linn really made the experience. She was so kind, outgoing, knowledgeable, and helpful! She truly went above and beyond by also giving us recommendations for what to do with the rest of the day (Mathallen & the riverside café were delicious, scenic, and fun btw, so thank you Linn!). It was our favorite day out of our stay in Oslo. Regarding snowshoeing, the trail was scenic, peaceful, and not too difficult. It was the perfect length and the meeting point was easy to find. Highly recommend and would love to go back for another tour with Linn!

5.00We really enjoyed the snow shoeing- Lin was great, good fun and friendly. You can go at your own pace, easy to do if you have never snow shoed and the journey to get to the starting place- Marka I think- was also interesting going through the outskirts of Oslo. A lovely start to our trip to Norway. Thank you.
A great experience in Oslo.

5.00This was a really unique and enjoyable experience in Oslo. The guides were very friendly and knowledgable and we really lucked out with clear skies and deep powder to trek through in the forest. The only thing missing was a moose or elk sighting. Very happy we did this tour. Highly recommended!

5.00Peter was an amazing guide. A wealth of local knowledge as well as a good amount of overseas travels! The snowshoe hike was beautiful with lots of snow (obviously 😁) around us. Peter was also aware of all of our snowshoeing experiences (almost zero), which ensured that everyone was moving at a good speed without being overwhelmed endurance-wise.
Beautiful hiking with top guide!
