My husband and I went on this tour and had an amazing time! We met Lynn at the meeting spot, which was super easy to find. She is an amazing guide, so helpful and nice. We took public transportation and then enjoyed the walk to the campfire. Another guide was there Mustafa, who had marshmallows and hot chocolate waiting for us. We had a surprise to the trip when the he also had sleds. My husband and I are 30 and haven't sled down a mountain in years!! This experience brought out our inner child and let us play around in the snow. We had a good group size of about 15 people. Because of us traveling in February, we didn't have a large crowd anywhere during our walk. We pretty much had the whole area to ourselves. I felt so cool with my torch! The walk was beautiful in the dark winter landscape. 10/10 would recommend!

Full description

Note! On our tours, guests' safety always comes first. On this tour we move through the forest with live fire. If the guide assesses the situation or the weather in such a way that it challenges the guests' safety, we will not use torches. We still wander through the forest, and end up lighting a campfire.
‍
After 1 March 2025 we will no longer use torches due to the return of daylight.

Your adventure begins in the heart of Oslo, where your guide will meet you outside Backstube Opera, just near Oslo Central Station. From there, we’ll hop on the metro, passing through charming neighborhoods on our way to Frognerseteren Station, perched 500 meters above the fjord.

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".

After some time, we will safely put out the fire, 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. The entire experience, including transportation time, lasts about three and a half hours.

All guests are recommended to bring gloves with them.
