1.Best View of the Oslofjord Winter Edition

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 100 reviews · 4 hours · from $105Our pick

4-hour Oslo winter hike to Vettakollen for sweeping Oslofjord views, snowy forest walking with spikes, and a cozy cabin stop.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the trek, along with 5 friends. There were ten of us all together. Our guide, Miles, was knowledgeable and fun, and I would very happily join him for another hike should I visit Oslo again. The hike itself was lovely- long enough without being overly strenuous, and we were treated to some lovely views. I’d thoroughly recommend both this hike, and Miles as your guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

3.The Norwegian Skiing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $110Top rated

Beginner cross-country skiing in Oslo with full gear, English instruction, snowy woodland tracks, and a cozy hot drink plus Norwegian snacks and photos.

“The most lovely person ever! Håvard made our entire experience so special. I came for my birthday and it was excellent. I wasn’t really sure what cross-country skiing would be like, but it was so much fun. We were a big group of 13, and he accommodated all of us so well—even when some of my friends wandered off and weren’t as attentive. He was fantastic, took great photos of us, and was just overall amazing. He really made the whole experience memorable. To top it all off, at the end his mum made us the best hot chocolate we’ve ever had, and we got to try a traditional Norwegian…”

5.Winter Highlights 3-Hour Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 46 reviews · 3 hours · from $62

Oslo winter bike tour with spiked tires, Aker Brygge, Opera House and the Christmas market on Karl Johans Gate, plus warm indoor stops.

“This was my first time in Oslo and I thought the cycling tour would be a great way to see the city, what I didn't bargain on was the amount of snow! I turned out to be the only person on the tour as the weather was so bad and it's a fairly new activity so I essentially got a private tour! Josh from Viking Biking was really friendly and funny and knew his stuff about the city. He gave me pretty free rein about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see. I even wanted a hot chocolate at one point so we went to a…”

6.Snowshoe Tour in Winter Wonderland – Oslo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $106

Guided snowshoe tour in Oslomarka from Oslo by metro, gear included. Spot deer and foxes on a 3.5-hour winter walk.

“This was the highlight of our time in Oslo. Miles was a fantastic guide. He gave interesting information and answered every question we had. The trip to the hike was on the metro and took about 40 minutes with Einer and Tom. Take a book or some headphones, but don’t miss the view. Be on the right side for the best opportunities. The snowshoes were set up for us in a cute little line and they were very easy to take on and off. Miles and the team will help you at any point to adjust. Snowshoeing is not difficult, but those in the front will have a little more…”

7.Oslo Winter Highlights Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $56

3-hour Oslo winter bike tour with studded tires and a small group. See Opera House views, Karl Johans Gate, and Oslofjord.

“We had 2days in Oslo after our trip to Svalbard. I loved the idea of a bike tour but wasn’t sure what to expect given the snow and ice. The meeting point is in a warehouse right next to the DFDS ferry, the signage could be clearer but Josh our guide was visible and waiting for us , was just me and my wife so we ended up with a private tour. Josh , originally from Florida but had been living in Oslo for 11 years was superb with regular stops and super informative he really knew his facts and history and our 3 hour tour flew by. So many…”
