I'm a winter sports fan and to see this famous venue up close was a thrill. I can only imagine the thrill of jumping in that huge bowl with thousands screaming!

Although this is not the original Holmenkollen, it is still very interesting and, as I say, the skiers must be very brave. The cafe at the site is good and serves delicious cake! There is also a stave church close by the carpark to vist/walk around.

Seeing the view from the top of the tower was amazing! To imagine standing up there on a pair of skis getting ready to jump was unbelievable. The museum itself was also interesting but I would skip the simulator next time. It was very short and not all that exciting.

Luckilly there was still lots of snow on the ground and light snow falling when I toured this Oslo site. Made it feel more winter like, even tough the Ski Jump was not being used (end of season was at the end of March). The museum there is nice, and they have a quaint cafe to grab a warm drink... More
