4 Snow Trips with a BBQ Worth Booking

1.Oslo: Snowshoeing in the Forest with Norwegian BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 67 reviews · 3 hours · from $145Our pick

Meet Frederik at Frognerseteren metro station for a three-hour forest outing. Snowshoe through the hills above Oslo, make your own tracks, learn about local wildlife and culture, then cook hotdogs in lompe over a fire with hot solbær juice. If snow is thin, the trip continues on foot.

“We most liked the camp fire and cooking our sausages on sticks. That was a lovely experience. Having a location by a metro line was helpful. The level of ‘adventure’ was just right for me and my 7 year old. Fredrick was calm and friendly and the pace was good; not too fast or slow! There was unusually no snow but this is still a fab activity without it. The location is higher up than we thought so it also includes lovely views of Oslo. And at the end there’s a lovely cafe. A very nice activity out of the city centre.”
