Hi!
Your options are dependent on what kind of wintersports you would like to do and how much time and money you have to spend. In the Oslo area Holmenkollen offers both crosscountry skiing opportunities as well as slalom and snowboarding slopes at Tryvann Skisenter. Not to far away - about one hour to an hour and a half of driving a car or bus - you have Norefjell which offers the same in a more countryside fashion were you can rent a cabin or a hotelroom for the weekend or in the mid of the week if you're not working.
Further away from Oslo in Hemsedal, Trysil, Beito and more - you have full fledged mountain resorts with big networks of prepared skitracks for crosscountry skiing and good slalom and snowboard facilities with many lifts and slopes. Hemsedal is more of the partyresort kind while Trysil and Beito are more of a mix of familyresort and party.

Frognerseteren is a very beautiful place not far at all from the centre of Oslo. Just get the subway and get loose and free - hike, bike, walk, climb... do whatever you want! Enjoy the nature : that is and has always been the norwegian motto! Leave a Comment Theme: HikingDirections: Take subway n.1 towards Frognerseteren

The area around the famous Holmenkollen skijump hill is also an arena for other skiing activities, like crosscountry and biathlon etc... During the winter you can normally see a couple of world cup events here. But you are also allowed to use the tracks for your own training or just t go on a trip into the woodlands around Oslo. This is a very popular activity during winter in Oslo.
Crosscountry equipment, can be bought in just about any sport store in Oslo. Theme: Skiing/SnowboardingDirections: Drive your car or take the subway up to Frognerseteren.

The Wyller ski run is a part of the Tryvann ski centre, but has a separate access down in Sørkedalen valley. It has the longest run of all the ski slopes around Oslo. You can alternate between Wyller and other ski runs in the Tryvann complex.
Rental equipment available at Tryvann or at Wyller's base in Sørkedalen. Leave a Comment

DNT - the Norwegian Trekking Association - is Norway's biggest outdoor activities organisation. The association members have built one of Europe's largest marked hiking trail networks and arguably the world's most extensive cross-country skiing track networks. You can hike or ski in comfort, as there are more than 430 cabins in the networks across the country, or seek challenge, as Norway is one of the least densely populated countries of the world, with extensive areas available for outdoor activities, many of them readily available, close to cities. DNT has more than 207,000 members, most in Norway, but one in ten abroad.
If you want their help to assist you in your nature (not city) travel planning or arrangements in Norway - check out their english website at:
DNT
You can also visit their service centre in Oslo in Storgaten 7 near the Oslo Cathedral. Leave a Comment

Oslo is quite a big place for winter sports, obviously. This is there competition ski jump. Never actually been to the top of one of these before and don't think I could let myself slide down this for anything, not even a gold medal))) Leave a Comment Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding

Ski jump is almost as popular in Norway as in Finland. The amazing part that here in Oslo it is really in the outskirt of the city. It is worth to come and visit this area even just for the view or the nature around here. Leave a Comment

You have to start sometime. We were amazed to see this small child learning to ice skate with the use of what looked like an old milk bottle crate as support!! He was a lot steadier than either of us would have been, thats no joke! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Near The Sculpture ParkDirections: Outside of the Sculpture Park
