Explore Nordmarka In Winter
One of the best things about Oslo, and really about every Norwegian city, is that you can easily access stunning natural beauty from everywhere in the city by taking a short public transportation ride. Especially, when winter comes, the nature of this country turns into a breathtaking snow kingdom that is totally worth visiting. Therefore, besides visiting Olso's Christmas markets, exploring Olso's Nordmarka in Winter is also a great thing to do in this city.
Nordmarka is a large forest just outside Oslo. It is close to public car traffic and there are several hundred kilometers of gravel roads. A large part of these are plowed for snow during winter, so you can ride your gravel bike all through the winter! In fact, Winter cycling in Nordmarka has always been a famous activity that tourists love to do in Olso.
On your way to Nordmarka, you'll go through Hollmenkollen, which is actually the start of Nordmarka - Oslo’s main outdoor recreational area. Ski jumping in Hollmenkollen is also a great thing to do if you like a little bit of thrill. In addition to having one of the best views of Oslo, the Holmenkollen Ski Jump also houses a small ski jumping museum where you can learn more about the sport and the region.
