The trip starts outside Oslo Visitor Centre at Jernbanetorget in Oslo city centre. We will then take the Vy train to Snippen station. This is a great train ride! We hike up to a tall hill where some simple climbing is required. The view from this hill is out of this world! You will see most of Oslo, the Oslofjord and a large part of Oslo´s surroundings. We will then stroll down to the great lake Maridalsvannet and end our trip where we started at Jernbanetorget.

I booked a day hike with Oslo Hiking through the magical Krokskogen. The trip is 25 kilometers long and can be experienced as somewhat demanding, but in return, you get an absolutely spectacular view from Gyrihaugen, going through deep ravines to the Mørkgonga and many other beautiful gems. The tour was guided by Mustafa who has both education and many years of experience as a tour guide, both from the Norwegian mountains and the Atlas mountains.

We took this gorgeous tour even without any info, but it was the best part of our trip! Well-Organised, fast and comfortable. Every point was perfectly organised with the help of guide, who told us facts about sights all the way, he pointed the best views for making photos, this is very important for me as tourist. All transport tickets were sent to us, we didn't have any problems. Next time in Bergen we obviously would take these tours. Recommend! Recommend! Recommend!

I booked a this tour from EuroRail and it was scheduled for 9/7/20. I paid €633 euro .. and NO one will help me. Euro Railways: Booking Confirmation # 1172ZM - Order # 6583897 - ETICKET PRINT AT HOME. It states on its terms & Conditions that it will refund all monies if government actions prevent it from happening. As AUS was in lockdown so was Norway. Please be responsible and refund my $900 AUD that we paid before Covid interrupted the world . Norway in a Nutshell was the advertised tour via train travel from Oslo to Bergen
