Overview
ItineraryAt 15.00h our guide will pick you up at Akershusstranda 13 in the centre of Oslo. From there you will be transported in one of our vehicles for about 20 minutes to the edge of the forest where the hike will start. We will hike by foot or by snowshoes, partly on trails and partly through the bush in a dense forest where there are lots of moose. This is a genuin wilderness area even though it is close to Oslo. We will walk slowly and try our best to be quiet as we try to spot these impressive animals. We do not always see animals on our tours but we always find traces of them. You will be given a pair of binoculars for use during the tour. The best chances of seeing moose is around sunset and later. When the season requires it you will also be given a headlamp for use during the tour. After a while we will take a break and the guide will prepare a light evening meal, for example moose meat, salad and lingonberry served in pita bread or as a hamburger. If conditions are right we might also make a campfire during the break. After the break we continue our hike and will eventually end up where we started for transport back to Oslo where you will arrive around 20.00h in the evening.

Traveler Reviews

Eirik, our guide, was in touch with us a couple of days before to inform us that snow was melting and we accepted to do the hike. We enjoyed every minute of this adventure: from chatting with the guide, to the hike and finally the beautiful view of the fjord. One of the best moment was when we stopped for launch, and Eirik prepared us the moose meat (it was our first time) on the fire and taught us how to start one. Eirik was a very caring guide who made the all experience even more enjoyable and cannot recommend more to book your adventure with him while visiting Oslo. Very beautiful memories, and I'm sure we'll be back soon to do the canoeing.

It was a great hiking and one of our best experiences in Oslo. We took many pictures of the forest and we learnt a lot of things. We were lucky to have Eirik as our guide, he is funny and he cooked a delicious reindeer burger for us. So, we recommend this outdoor experience to people who love nature and wild life.
