Cross-country Ski Area · Hidden Gem · Hiking Trail
Nordmarka serves as an area of unspoiled nature within the city limits that provides various opportunities for recreation throughout the year. A wide section of forest features walking paths, cycling routes, hiking trails, and cross-country ski paths. If the weather's warm, go for a swim in one of the scenic lakes nestled among hills. Stay overnight or grab homemade snacks while taking a break at one of the many charming cottages, which are open year-round. Be sure to bring a map of the area, even though most trails are marked. With our online itinerary creator, Oslo attractions like Nordmarka can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.
