Highlights
A three-hour guided hike through the forests just outside Oslo, built around Viking history and Norse folklore — developed with a Viking expert who helped shape every story along the route. Walking beneath the trees, you'll hear the myths that defined a civilisation: the creation of the world, Thor's legendary fishing trip, the tragic death of Baldur, and many more tales. The forest has its own inhabitants too — trolls, the enchanting Huldra, and the Nøkken, creatures that have lured people into the woods for as long as the people of Scandinavia have told their stories. We stop at Trollvann lake for Norwegian trail snacks and a hot drink. Your guide will tell you the story behind the food too. The myths don't stay in the past. By the end of the hike, you'll understand how Norse cosmology laid the foundations for a distinctly Norwegian relationship with nature — one that persists in friluftsliv, allemansretten, and the quiet romanticism Norwegians still bring to their forests today.

Ablauf
Grefsenbakkene is part of Oslo Skisenter Grefsenkollen, a local ski area on the edge of the forest above the city. On this tour, guests pass close to the slopes while learning about Norway’s deep connection to skiing, winter culture, and outdoor life. The area helps show how easily Oslo residents move between city life and nature.
Trollvann is a peaceful forest lake in Oslo’s Grefsen area, surrounded by trees, trails, and hills. On this tour, guests will stop here for a light Norwegian trail snack and a hot drink, with the option of a refreshing swim when weather conditions allow.
Grefsenkollen is one of Oslo’s best-known viewpoints, offering sweeping views over the city, the Oslofjord, Holmenkollen, and the surrounding forest. It is a popular local hiking area and a beautiful reward after the uphill section of the walk.

About Oslo
Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.
Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
Top-ranked sights in Oslo: Akershus Castle (Akershus Slott), Oslo Royal Palace (Kongelige Slott), Oslo City Hall (Radhuset).
