Leave the city streets behind and immerse yourself in an enchanting Nordic evening experience. Designed for travellers seeking a unique blend of outdoor culture, evening walk, and local gastronomy, this guided twilight adventure highlights the magic of Oslo’s winter forest in an intimate, small-group atmosphere.
Take a scenic, 35-minute metro ride up to Frognerseteren to start your trip. Rising 500 metres above the city, you’ll meet your local guide, take in panoramic nighttime views over the illuminated cityscape below, and step onto silent, snow-dusted forest trails.
Before venturing into the dark, your guide will provide a quick safety briefing and assist everyone in lighting traditional wax-burning hand torches. As flickering light warms the snowy path, you will trek through towering pine trees into the heart of the forest. Along the walk, your guide will introduce you to friluftsliv—Norway’s outdoor lifestyle philosophy—while sharing folklore tales of forest spirits and winter survival traditions.
Deep in the woods, step into a secluded campfire site equipped with warm, insulated seating mats. Here, the experience shifts into an interactive fireside workshop. Gather around a crackling bonfire as your guide acts as outdoor chef, preparing traditional Norwegian cast-iron waffles directly over open flames. Watch the batter crisp, sample classic pairings—including iconic caramel-flavored brunost (brown cheese), sour cream, and wild berry jam—or try your hand at holding the iron over the fire.
Alongside your hot waffles, savour a steaming mug of traditional non-alcoholic Gløgg, a fragrant spiced winter berry drink served with almonds and raisins.
After sharing food, stories, and warmth around the bonfire, your guide will share their favourite local recommendations for what to see and do in the city. Then, they will lead the group on a brief walk out of the woods and accompany you straight to the metro platform for a smooth, hassle-free ride back to central Oslo.
