No need to worry if you’ve never tried snowshoeing before - this tour is designed for everyone! Our expert guides will provide all the instructions you need, ensuring you feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour.

Our trip starts at our tour center in downtown Oslo. From there, we’ll board the metro, and enjoy a scenic train ride through the stunning winter landscape. As we leave the city behind, the views over the fjord will unfold before you, setting the stage for a day of exploration.

After disembarking the train at Frognerseteren, you will put on snowshoes and your guide will give you all the instructions you need. As we walk through the snowy forests, you'll feel the crunch of the snow beneath you and breathe in the fresh, chilly air. It's like stepping into a magical winter wonderland!

We will be with you every step of the way, showing you the best spots and sharing interesting facts about the Norwegian winter traditions and animals that call this place home. Keep an eye out for deer, foxes, and other wildlife as we make our way through the forest.

After experiencing the beauty of the winter forest, we will make our way back to the metro station and finish our adventure in central Oslo, where our journey began. This is sure to be an experience you never forget!

*Important Info* When in Norway will provide snowshoes and poles to each guest. It is the guests responsibility to have warm winter footwear (boots or shoes).
We provide snowshoes, but not winter boots.
