XC skiing Oslo. Kind of mindfullness, and easier than you think.

Hiking, wilderness and fire. This is Norway. You will be surprised how ‘Alaska’ the area looks like, so close to the center (30 minutes bus south, from the Opera) We will hike in the forest and into the Wilderness. After some hiking we will make a fire, and enjoy a warm lunch in the forest. We will probably not see many people, maybe none.

It doesn’t get more Norwegian than this: Hiking, wilderness and food over fire – Norwegians favorite activity. With a local and Norwegian guide. Don’t miss this chance to get back to nature!

You don’t need to be fit (if you are fit enough to walk for some hours, you will be fit enough).

What an experience! Everything about the day exceeded our expectations. Oddbjorn did everything he could to make the day enjoyable and informative. He knew a lot about the sport and the wildlife in the surrounding area. The lunch was exceptional, homemade waffles and burgers over an open fire with hot chocolate and coffee to keep us warm! His commutation from the moment we booked was both helpful and appreciated. Overall it was the highlight of our trip, and we would recommended to anyone visiting Oslo! Thank you Oddbjorn, we wouldn’t think twice about booking with you again on our next trip to Norway.

Absolutely amazing!! My husband and I had zero experience before this activity and still had great time cross country skiing through the woods and across a lake. Oddbjorn was very friendly and quick to respond to questions or concerns. He gave us detailed directions to our meeting place which made navigating public transport worry free. The waffles lived up the hype. They were delicious and we even had some burgers too. I would encourage adding this experience to your stay in Oslo.

This was such an incredible experience and a highlight of our trip to Oslo! Neither me nor my partner had ever been cross-country skiing and we were a bit nervous going into the experience, but we immediately felt comfortable and had the best time. Oddbjørn is incredibly friendly, well-informed, and encouraging: an all around great guide and person. The location is very easy to get to from central Oslo and it is so beautiful and peaceful. Lunch felt like such a unique and authentic experience, and Oddbjørn is a great cook. We left the day feeling extremely grateful for the experience and excited about future opportunities to cross-country ski!

AMAZING! One of the best experiences I have ever had! The views were beautiful and so was his cooking! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to do this. Oddbjørn is one of the nicest and most humble people Ive ever met. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars!

Most Norwegian names have a meaning, Oddbjørn means ‘hunter of bear’ (or knife/spear + bear). I am founder of Wild Oslo. Skiing with me is like having a friend showing you around. Every day I ski, skate or kayak. I put my soul into giving you a great experience. One of few local Norwegian guides in Oslo.
