What to expect
Nordmarka
On this trip, you will witness the clean Norwegian lakes and nature in all their splendor. Please note: This hike is only available for private bookings. The price listed is for the entire group. 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 through the Akerselva River to the Oslo Fjord. The trip begins outside Backstube Opera in the city center. From there, we will take the Vy 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 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.
