Oslo Forest Hike With Fjord Views and Waffles Half-Day Tour
Vettakollen is one of Oslo’s most popular hikes, a mountaintop with magnificent views over the city skyline and Oslofjord. On this tour, visit the famous spot then continue along a forest trail to reach a hidden lake only locals know about. Experience "Friluftsliv," Norway’s open-air lifestyle, as you cool off with a swim in the lake (summer only) and tuck into traditional Norwegian waffles, served with cheese.
Highlights
- ✓Leave the navigating to your guide for a hassle-free hiking experience
- ✓Hear Norse myths and legends as you hike in the forest
- ✓Enjoy a delicious brunch of homemade waffles with brunost (brown cheese)
- ✓Meet like-minded travelers on this intimate small-group hike
What you'll see & do
- ✓Welcome to the great outdoors! We kick off our adventure right where the locals do. You’ll be joined by an energetic and entertaining local guide who knows these trails like the back of their hand. As we wander through the towering pines, your guide will bring the forest to life with fun stories about Norse mythology and the quirky "hytte" (cabin) culture that Norwegians live for. It’s a relaxed, social hike where you’ll learn exactly why we’re so obsessed with our "Friluftsliv" lifestyle.
- ✓This is the "wow" moment of the tour. We’ll reach this iconic rocky summit for the absolute best panoramic views of the Oslofjord, the city skyline, and the islands. It’s the perfect spot for photos! While you take in the scenery, your guide will serve up a refreshing drink and a sweet local treat to recharge your energy before we head down to the lake.
- ✓We end at a peaceful, hidden forest lake for the ultimate "hygge" finale. While your guide sets up the traditional outdoor waffle kitchen, you have the chance to cool down with a refreshing plunge in the crystal-clear mountain water—so make sure to pack your swimsuit and towel! Once you're out, enjoy freshly made waffles with rømme (sour cream) and the famous Norwegian brunost (brown cheese). It’s the most authentic way to finish the tour in the woods.
