It is a 10 - 20 minute steep up hill walk from the Holmenkollen metro stop. The ski jump is very impressive. The steps are steep and the concrete seating is cold. Bring something to sit on that will provide cushion and insulation from the cold. We sat on the side of the ski jump in the red and green zone where the jumpers land. It was a great view watching them fly in the air after they came off the ramp and seeing where they land although you missed them coming down the steepest part of the ramp. We also sat farther in the arena where we could see where they were sitting at the top. It was enjoyable seeing them come down the entire run and then ski up to the end and take off their skis, but we missed the perspective of them flying in the air since they look like a dot against the snow.

Well worth a visit! There are 2 ski jumps close to each other. The photo looking down from the top is from the shorter jump. There was no problem walking up to the top of the jump and standing right where the jump begins. Really amazing. The bigger jump is where the museum is located and is more popular. Admission to the museum includes the funicular ride to the top. We didn't have time so only climbed to the museum level. Consider taking the T1 Metro to the end of the line (Frognerseteren) and walking down to Holmenkollen. Stop at the old mountain restaurant, Frognerseteren Restaurant and Cafe for coffee, pastries or a full meal and enjoy the incredible view. Then continue the downhill walk past the smaller ski jump and finally get to Holmenkollbakken. Believe me, you'll be glad you did.

Well this one is a wowzah! You really should visit Oslo, or Norway for that matter, without scaling (well, there's an elevator), this towering icon. You can safe yourself ours upon hours of sightseeing in Oslo, by doing Holmenkollen first, thus seeing it all from one place! Brilliant, isn't it? Fair warning, the entrance is inside the ski museum, so you will have to make sure it's open, and you really shouldn't plan on going to the top if you're claustrophobic or suffer from vertigo. The only way up is a fairly small elevator, so during peak hours, a magazine or something might be a good idea... Ones you're on top, enjoy the spectacular view, and ride the zip-line down to the bottom - I dare you!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Zipline in Norway. Not only did I get to witness breathtaking views from the top, but I also had the exhilarating opportunity to try out the Zipline itself. The cost for this incredible adventure was 160 per person to access the top and enjoy the magnificent scenery, while the Zipline experience was priced at 320 per person. Without a doubt, I believe that participating in this activity is an absolute must for anyone visiting Norway. The combination of awe-inspiring vistas and the adrenaline rush of zipping through the air creates an unforgettable experience that is truly incomparable.

Breathtaking location, there are sled and long-ski rides as well as a great view of Oslo on the way up. I recommend taking the train all the way up to the end station, then follow the sled-hill down about 30 meters and take a left into the forest trail. It's an amazing trail, secluded from anything manmade. A just a few minutes of walking you are isolated from the rest of the world; all alone in a large, snow covered forest, it's a breathtaking feeling. It ends up taking you to a beautiful glade, dead silent apart from some skiiers now and then. Great scenery all around, a must-visit for anyone spending a week in Oslo.

Regardless of taking the zip line or not, it's a must visit spot: the ski jump ramp is impressive, at a high land area, and the view from the top is great! The lift ticket to the top (without zip line) costs 160kr per person or 400kr per family. The zip line itself is really long and high, and tickets are quite expensive for "just" a zip line. There is also a ski simulator under the ramp, 300kr for families. Be aware that it can get crowded in the high season or summer weekends, and waiting lines may take a couple hours from your day - go in business hours if you can, and buy ticket in advance if you can't.
