What to expect

Your adventure begins at a tour centre in central Oslo. From here, you'll hop on the Frognerseteren metro line for a scenic journey through a landscape that takes your breath away. As the city recedes into the background, panoramic vistas unfold before you, setting the stage for a day of exploration.

Upon reaching the Frognerseteren station, you're greeted by awe-inspiring panoramic views. A leisurely hike awaits you through verdant forests and past enigmatic small lakes rumoured to be home to the mystical creature Huldra. Your wanderings will lead you to DNT Fuglemyrhytta - a snug cabin offering a tranquil spot to relax and soak up the scenery.

From there, your adventure continues through the woodland to the most spectacular spot of your journey – the summit of Vettakollen mountain with its overwhelming vistas of the city and the Oslofjord. Savour the crisp, fresh air and immortalise this moment with photographs. The peak of Vettakollen provides an unrivalled view of the city. Feast your eyes on expansive parts of Oslo, the serene Oslo fjord, and its peaceful coastline, sprinkled with numerous small islands.

After taking in the view, you'll amble down to the metro station and conclude your trip back in downtown Oslo. Whether you're an experienced hiker or a nature enthusiast keen to experience Oslo's natural splendour, the Vettakollen hike is an essential experience. Join this journey to the top of Oslo, and create memories that will endure a lifetime.
