OSLO SKI TRIPS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend who has never had boots on: 5 ski trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to check before you commit.
Spend one day at SNØ, Norway’s indoor ski resort in Viken County. Ski or snowboard on three alpine slopes, practice in the beginners area, use the ski park, or watch the cross-country track above you. Rentals, lessons, food, and ice climbing cost extra, while the snow zone and lift ticket are included.
“Najważniejsze jest że można wypożyczyć cały sprzęt z ubiorem na miejscu”
Join a small group of up to six with Norwegian guides such as Oddbjørn or John for a beginner-friendly ski outing in Østmarka National Park. Equipment, warm drinks, and a fire-cooked lunch are included. Expect about two hours of skiing, a 75-minute forest meal, and striking wilderness just 25 minutes from central Oslo.
“We had an amazing time and got to see some amazing landscapes. The skiing was fun even for us beginners and Oddbjørn was a brilliant guide. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oslo, the journey to the beautiful national park was very easy to get to from the city centre as well!”
Meet Håvard at Skullerud T-bane for a friendly 3.5-hour introduction to Norwegian cross-country skiing. You’ll learn basic technique, practice on beginner-friendly snowy trails, and enjoy snacks with hot chocolate. Equipment and English instruction are included, but you’ll need to bring suitable winter clothing.
Meet your professional instructor at Sognsvann and learn Nordic skiing in a private 90-minute class. You’ll practice the basics, then ski through the snowy forest at your own pace. The lesson suits beginners, and Dima is one instructor associated with the experience. Equipment rental costs 399 NOK per person.
“Great skiing experience and forest adventure, thank u! We had an introduction to the basics of cross country skiing first, also the equipment was top notch. Then we had some time to ski in the forest and ejoy the nature!”
Meet your English-speaking instructor at Trollvannstua, collect skis, boots, and poles, then spend two hours learning cross-country technique on groomed tracks in Oslomarka. Your private lesson includes equipment for the rest of the day, giving you time to practice after the session. Guides such as Nils and Karl have earned especially warm praise.
“Such a brilliant activity. Our instructors were really knowledgeable and gave us a great experience. Thoroughly recommended.”
By country, by kind of day, by how much snow you have skied before.
