Highly recommended. - Highly recommended and good value for money.
Me and my nephew went on a hike with Patricia (and Fluffy 😍) on the 31-03-2024. The weather wasn't great. It was foggy and misty, but it didn't stop us from having an enjoyable and memorable hike.
The majority of the route was downhill, so most people will be able to do the walk. Plus, it was loads of fun in the snow and snow spikes are provided.

Snow hike to Vettakollen - We were very lucky with the weather, sunshine at 3°. There was a small group of 14 people. Great hike through Oslo's forests in deep snow, with a really beautiful landscape. The highlight was the beautiful view from Vettakollen 👍🏻 The route was just under 5 km in total and easy to hike.
The guide had a lot of interesting things to say about hiking and skiing in Norway. We had a really nice morning, can only recommend it!

View of The Oslofjord Tour - I had a great time on the tour. the nature was spectacular and Lynn was a great and very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
The terrain was quite rocky, so definitely wear good shoes, ideally hiking boots with good grip, and pack a rain jacket, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Overall: Great experience, and I would definitely book again!
