The Great Lake Tour

This is only available as a private tour in 2026.

On this trip, you will witness the clean Norwegian lakes and nature in all their splendor. Maridalsvannet, or Lake Maridal, is the largest lake in Oslo and serves as the city’s main drinking water supply. The lake’s clear waters flow all the way down the Akerselva River, through the center of Oslo, and into the Oslo Fjord.

The trip begins at our tour center in downtown Oslo. From there, we will hop on a train to Snippen Station. This is a scenic train ride, so don’t forget to capture the stunning views! Once we arrive, we will hike up to a tall hill, where some fun and light climbing is required. The reward for your efforts is a breathtaking panoramic view: from the cityscape of Oslo to the shimmering waters of the Oslo Fjord, and the vast, lush countryside and forests that stretch as far as the eye can see.

After soaking in the views, we’ll make our way down to the tranquil shores of Maridalsvannet, Oslo’s largest lake, surrounded by serene forests and pristine nature. After exploring this area, we will make the journey back in central Oslo - where we started, but with memories that will last a lifetime.

If you are staying within Oslo city center (within Ring 2), your guide can pick you up at your hotel for free! Just let us know!
