    What you'll see and do

    1. Frognerseteren

      Your adventure begins in the heart of Oslo, where your guide will meet you at the When in Norway tour center. From there, we’ll hop on the metro for a scenic ride, passing through charming neighborhoods on our way to Frognerseteren Station, perched 500 meters above the fjord.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. Ovresetertjern Lake

      After a few moments to enjoy the stunning view of the city lights below, it's time to start your adventure and head off into the night! We will take a short walk over to the frozen Øvresetertjern Lake, where you will enjoy a cozy campfire - Norwegian style. Around the fire you will enjoy some hot drinks, good conversation, roast marshmallows and watch the flames dance off the snow and ice as you have a moment of what Scandinavians like to call "hygge".

      45 minutes here

    3. After enjoying the campfire, each guest will be given a hand-held flame torch and, after a quick safety briefing, we’ll set off into the winter wilderness. The forest comes alive in the glow of our torches as we take a leisurely walk through the snowy landscape. The snow sparkles like fresh-cut gems, and the moonlight dances on the trees while the warm light from our torches adds a magical glow to the surroundings. Along the way, your guide will share stories and interesting facts about the area, with plenty of opportunities to stop and capture the beauty around you. The walk will last about 45 minutes and will end by the metro which takes us back to civilization. On our tours, guests' safety always comes first. On this tour we move through the forest with live fire. If the guide assesses that the situation or the weather challenges the guests' safety, we will not use torches. We still wander through the forest, and end up lighting a campfire.

    Amazing evening in the woods

    The experience was amazing from start to finish the guide (sorry don’t remember his name) was very formative from the start he introduced himself and told us what was happing the waffles, and hot chocolate by the canp fire was amazing and enjoyed it very much. The walk with the touches I loved so much was hoping to see a wolf but no luck. Would have liked if the walk was longer but that just a personal thing. I would highly recommend going and I will be definitely be going again

    A real Oslo treat!

    Great walk in the forest. Nice and cold and beautiful. Campfire and the hot chocolate were a real treat and the torches were a nice touch for sure. All in all it was a good time if you like walking in the snow. Just make sure you have good boots. Peter did a great job guiding us. We all made it back alive. Five stars.

    Magical experience! ❄️

    This was such a magical experience. The cabin in the woods surrounded by snow was so picturesque, it even started to snow while we were there around the campfire 😍 so so beautiful! Walking with the flame torches was something else - a unique experience that I will never forget 🥹

    Beautiful scenic winter walk with fire torches…

    Had an absolutely wonderful time on the hike today - Lyn (I think that’s her name???) was a wonderful lady… she looked after us really well.. Felt at ease from the minute meeting her at the backstube cafe till dropping us back at central …. Went on the metro for around 30/40 mins up until the forest.. walked across a frozen lake - to a log cabin and had a hot chocolate and got to toast some marshmallows (also waffles and sauce included) then lite our torches and set of for a 40/45 mins ish walk (very snowy and beautiful) it was truly beautiful up at frognerseteren park. Would highly recommended

    Cold Front in the Forest!

    This trip is definitely for thrill seekers and people who enjoy the combination of wilderness and the cold. Our tour guide was very friendly and resourceful. The walk itself was a little shorter than I expected but i couldn't imagine it being much longer as my toes almost froze. It was nice to witness people throwing a birthday party in the woods which is a first for me but it was cool. I recommend this for those who enjoy a slight challenge.

    Response from the operator: Thank you! Glad you liked it!

    Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.

    How much does Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.

    Is Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oslo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oslo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oslo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo?

    +

    Included: In-person English Guide; Snacks; Tea and coffee; and Handheld Flame Torch. Not included: Warm Footwear; Warm Clothing; and Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo?

    +

    All our tours start at our tour center in downtown Oslo. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo offered in?

    +

    What happens to Winter Forest Walk and Campfire by Torchlight in Oslo if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
