WildOslo – guide skating and cross country skiing

In winter, Wild Oslo offers guided skating and cross country skiing tours

Because we are local and we live here and know the best places, in addition we offer rentals and guided tours.

Being guided by us is like being shown around by a friend.

Guided skating and ski tours What shall we do?

We skate on a lake 20 minutes south of Oslo S. Usually on the lake Langen. The guide will teach you everything you need to know. Here we skate with nature on all sides. After some skating, we make a fire before we continue. We provide skates, shoes, coffee/cocoa and a light snack meal.

Top quality equipment.

Both shoes and skates are comfortable and perfect for touring skating. Touring skates are lower than hockey skates, so you get closer to the ice.

Clothing

You get good speed on tour skating, even if you use less effort than on skis. We therefore recommend a headband under the hat, or other warm solutions. Use a scarf, buff or neckerchief.

Warm mittens or two pairs of mittens.

Warm clothes.

We take weather and driving conditions.

Crosscountry skiing

Ski, snow, ice and fire. This is Norway. You will be surprised how ‘Alaska’ the area looks like, so close to the center (25 minutes bus south, from the city centre of Oslo) We will ski over a frozen lake or in the forest, depending on the conditions, and into the Wilderness. After some skiing we will make a fire, and enjoy a warm lunch/dinner in the forest. We will probably not see many people, maybe none.

It doesn’t get more Norwegian than this: Ski, fire and food over fire – Norwegians favorite activity. With a local and Norwegian guide. Don’t miss this chance to get back to nature!

WildOslo – rent a kayak or canoe

WildOslo rents equipment for a weekend or a day in nature. The lake Langen is located in the part of Oslomarka called Sørmarka.

Kayak rental Booking: https://wildoslo.com/nb/leie-kajakk-oslo/

Canoe rental WildOslo has two canoes at Langen Booking: https://wildoslo.com/nb/leie-kano-oslo/

Paddling on Langen is a bit like paddling on a wide and sleepy river. The length is approximately 9 kilometers long, so you are unlikely to paddle the whole way. You paddle past small islands, some farms, duck families and beaver huts most of the time you are paddling in wilderness.

You start in the north, at Bru near Siggerud. Langen is popular with fishermen, and you can find everything from perch to trout, bream and protected eel. There are many nice places to go ashore, as well as rough camping sites here and there. The stretch is approximately 9 kilometers long, with many opportunities to go ashore to swim or eat. Paddle oar, vest and a map of Langen are included.

Guided tours: We live here and know the best places. We offer guided tours. Being guided by us is like being shown around by a friend. Welcome to an exciting activity just outside Oslo!

By car; You drive in 21 minutes from Oslo S and we have free (private) parking. Or take the bus to Bru – it takes 31 minutes from Bjørvika. (Bus 550, change to bus 515 at Klemetsrud)

Birdwatching and lavvo dinner in the fairy tale forest

Game-watching in the fairytale forest and dinner and bonfire at Hannes

Welcome by Hanne at Rønningen farm. We are met by Hanne who tells a little about the history of the place and the people. Each is given a baguette and a bottle of water that we take with us on the trip out into the woods. The walk lasts about 4 hours, and may be adapted to a better fit for the group. Discover untouched nature in historical surroundings, only 25 minutes from Oslo.

We move out into Hornimarka and the fairytale forest. The first stop is at Persbråten, an old farmhouse. We walk along Urdselva up Urdsdalen. The river originates from the lake Svartvann, which is located a few km further up in the valley. There are several exciting waterfalls to see along the way, these are extra beautiful after a lot of rainfall. There is a rich fauna in this area, moose and deer live here … Dwarf woodpeckers, wasps and peregrine falcons are rare birds that live in the area, and if we are lucky, we can spot these, … we recommend to have the camera at hand. Old forest, narrow valleys and steep mountain slopes are also something that meets us along the way.

Some distance up in the valley we come to several places with an exciting history. We take a detour up to Risfjellkastet, where there are tombs (piles) from the Bronze Age. From the cairns we go northeast to Risfjellet's steep descent, from here there is a magnificent view of Kolsås, Sandvika and the fjord. After a break here, we return down to the farm.

Back on the farm, the farm girl Hanne will guide you into the dining room where a wonderful meal awaits us. Bonfire talk, nice company and summary of the trip. Dinner is served n in the lavvo, in the barn or in Jaktslottet.

Practical info:

The trip is in rough terrain so shoes with a rough sole are important. Physically demanding trip. Bring a small backpack.

Other easier tour suggestions:

Tour 2. Skuibakken storytelling with hiking to the farm (approx. 2 hours) Easy trip

Tour 3. History story, burial mounds, ancient road m.m. bird safari, fairytale forest, and nature photography (approx. 3 hours)
