Your tour starts in the city center where your tour guide will meet you at the Tiger Statue at Jernbanetorget, just outside the Oslo Visitor's Center at Oslo Central Station. From here you will hop on the metro and travel through quaint neighborhoods as you make your way to Frognerseteren Station, which sits at about 500 meters above the fjord.

After a few moments to soak in the city lights from above, 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 our equipment storage shed is located. Your tour guide will get everyone equipped with their own hand held flame torch and after a short safety briefing it's time to hit the trail.

We will take a leisurely stroll through the forest, where the snow sparkles like fresh cut gems as the light from the moon and the torches reflects off of the nature around you. Along the way, your guide will tell you some information about the area, allowing plenty of time for picture stops. The walk will last about 45 minutes and will end next to the frozen 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 and head to the metro and back to civilization.

Including time spent on public transportation, the trip will last for a total of about three and half hours.
