Winter in Oslo

Winter in Oslo is truly something else. Only a short metro ride from the city centre, a wide range of winter activities await you. Ski or sled to your heart's content, then get back to the city for an after ski out of the ordinary. The saunas and spas are heated up, cosy cafes welcome you in, great restaurants are plentiful and Oslo's many attractions look beautiful in the snow.

Whichever way you prefer to enjoy the cold season, Oslo's got you covered!
