We visited the ski jump on a beautiful sunny day in October so we had amazing views. Getting there was fairly easy -a 30 minute metro journey, plus a 15 minute walk up a quiet road. The air is very clean and the scenery is so beautiful that we stopped a few times to appreciate it all, including the wooden... More

Be warned that there is a walk with hills to the museum and ski jump, but very doable. The museum offered a good insight to the history of skiing and the highlight is certainly... More

Local train trip from oslo. Takes about 45 minutes, nice trip with great photo opportunities. Inexpensive. Good half day sightseeing or if skiing, snowboarding would be great day out. Has ski jump simulator attraction, awesome! Musuem to go to as well. Great spot. More

This is a must stop when visiting Oslo. The views from this point is amazing! Great pictures! We just so happened to walk up to it on the day they were having the World Cup and stayed there all day. It was a perfect day. Super cool. Easy to get too by Metro Train. More
