Nordmarka (pass by)

On this trip, you will witness the clean Norwegian lakes and nature in all their splendor! The trip begins at our tour center in downtown Oslo. From there, we will hop on a train to Snippen Station. This is a scenic train ride, so don’t forget to capture the stunning views!Once we arrive, we will hike up to a tall hill, where some fun and light climbing is required. The reward for your efforts is a breathtaking panoramic view: from the cityscape of Oslo to the shimmering waters of the Oslo Fjord, and the vast, lush countryside and forests that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Maridalsvannet (pass by)

After soaking in the views, we’ll make our way down to the tranquil shores of Maridalsvannet, Oslo’s largest lake, surrounded by serene forests and pristine nature. Maridalsvannet, or Lake Maridal, is the largest lake in Oslo and serves as the city’s main drinking water supply. The lake’s clear waters flow all the way down the Akerselva River, through the center of Oslo, and into the Oslo Fjord.After exploring this area, we will make the journey back to central Oslo - where we started, but with memories that will last a lifetime!

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
