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.
If there are not enough guests for the group tour to run, you will be offered the choice of a tour spot on a different date or a full refund.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
What To Expect
Frognerseteren
Your adventure begins in the heart of Oslo, where your guide will meet you at the When in Norway tour center. From there, we’ll hop on the metro for a scenic ride, 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".

Amazing evening in the woods

5.00The experience was amazing from start to finish the guide (sorry don’t remember his name) was very formative from the start he introduced himself and told us what was happing the waffles, and hot chocolate by the canp fire was amazing and enjoyed it very much. The walk with the touches I loved so much was hoping to see a wolf but no luck. Would have liked if the walk was longer but that just a personal thing. I would highly recommend going and I will be definitely be going again
A real Oslo treat!

5.00Great walk in the forest. Nice and cold and beautiful. Campfire and the hot chocolate were a real treat and the torches were a nice touch for sure. All in all it was a good time if you like walking in the snow. Just make sure you have good boots. Peter did a great job guiding us. We all made it back alive. Five stars.
Very nice experience

5.00This was such a magical experience. The cabin in the woods surrounded by snow was so picturesque, it even started to snow while we were there around the campfire 😍 so so beautiful! Walking with the flame torches was something else - a unique experience that I will never forget 🥹
Enjoy campfire and hiking

5.00Had an absolutely wonderful time on the hike today - Lyn (I think that’s her name???) was a wonderful lady… she looked after us really well.. Felt at ease from the minute meeting her at the backstube cafe till dropping us back at central …. Went on the metro for around 30/40 mins up until the forest.. walked across a frozen lake - to a log cabin and had a hot chocolate and got to toast some marshmallows (also waffles and sauce included) then lite our torches and set of for a 40/45 mins ish walk (very snowy and beautiful) it was truly beautiful up at frognerseteren park. Would highly recommended
Cold Front in the Forest!

5.00This trip is definitely for thrill seekers and people who enjoy the combination of wilderness and the cold. Our tour guide was very friendly and resourceful. The walk itself was a little shorter than I expected but i couldn't imagine it being much longer as my toes almost froze. It was nice to witness people throwing a birthday party in the woods which is a first for me but it was cool. I recommend this for those who enjoy a slight challenge.
Lovely snowy hike

5.00Well organised, Lynn was super smiley and helpful. Lovely hike to the cabin where we had hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows on the fire. We then had a second hike with the torches back to the start and the train back to Oslo. Would recommend
Magical winter night time walk in the forest

5.00Quite simply the highlight of our stay in Oslo. Crisp, fresh snow, a brilliant, informative guide in Tom (or maybe Thom?), delicious hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows and a truly magical experience, walking through the forest with torches at dark. We loved every minute, thank you so much
A magical walk and camp fire in the Oslo forest.

5.00We had a brilliant time in this trip. Tom and Miles we excellent guides and made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. We set off at dusk and travelled by metro up into the hills above Oslo. We were very lucky to experience light snow on our 23rd December tour and this certainly added to the experience. Top marks to Tom and Miles for personally arranging the snow! We enjoyed the camp fire, the hot chocolate, toasting waffles and marshmallows followed by a magical forest walk with lit torches. We travelled with grown up children and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful Oslo experience. 100% recommended, even if you don't have snow.
