Off-season tours in Oslo

As the high season comes to an end, we turn our attention to winter. In Oslo, winter does not main going inside and waiting for the spring to return. Instead, we are outside almost more than ever, enjoying sledding, skiing, ice skating and the peace that comes from a world covered in snow and ice.

Join an Oslo tour with Viking Biking & Hiking to experience the real beauty of a Norwegian winter. On our popular Island Hopping guided tour, we leave the city behind (which can often be a bit grey in the winter) to discover a hidden world of brightly colored cottages, snowy paths and an icy fjord which feel like they are hours away from the city … but in reality, we are only 10 minutes away thanks to the modern electric ferries that take us from island to island.

A guided winter tour in Oslo also means things get “koselig” or cozy. Your guide will bring along warm drinks and gingerbread for a charming stop that undoubtedly gets you in the winter spirit. Between islands, we get back on the electric ferries and warm up, enjoying sea views from the comfort of these modern boats.

If you are looking for a true winter experience just minutes from the city centre, then Island Hopping is perfect for you. And don’t worry if there is ice or snow — your guide will provide strap-on crampons for the bottom of your shoes to keep you safe in all conditions. Just make sure you have warm clothing and we will take care of the rest! Off-season tours in Oslo are best with Viking Biking & Hiking.
