Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Note! 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.
Hop on the metro and travel through quaint neighborhoods to Frognerseteren Station, which sits at about 500m above the fjord.
After a few moments to soak in the views it's time to start our adventure! We will take a short walk over to the frozen Øvresetertjern Lake, where you will enjoy a cozy campfire, Norwegian style. We will have "hygge" - hot drinks, good conversation, roast marshmallows.
Here, each guest will be given a flame torch. After a safety briefing, we’ll set off into the winter wilderness.
The walk will last about 45 min and will end by the metro which takes us back to civilization.

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.

2.00Very expensive tour, you spend more time on the metro traveling than the activity itself, it is not worth paying £80 to walk 15m in the dark and drink chocolate. It was very boring and disappointing.
Avoid

1.00Very disappointing. Since there was no snow we changed this tour for the "torchlight hike". Our guide was very professional and willing to help us and give us tips for our stay in Oslo. Having said that... the hike was simply a walk along a path surrounding a cabin. You can get there by subway and do it on your own because it has no mystery. We paid £80 per person for 4 marshmallows and a hot chocolate that was not even hot. Al.be at night we can not appreciate a shred of landscape and the photos are simply a.person holding a torch. It takes longer to travel by subway and be burning marshmallows than the walking experience. "Hike"
