Alpine Skiing in Oslo, Norway: Oslo Vinterpark

Dreaming of a day of skiing (or snowboarding) in Norway but only have time to visit Oslo? Look no further than Oslo Vinterpark – Oslo’s very own ski resort located only 30 minutes away from the city center!

Oslo Vinterpark

Skiing and snowboarding areas

Oslo Vinterpark is the largest ski resort in the Oslo area, boasting 18 slopes and 11 lifts. The park has something for everyone, with a beginner/family area, runs of varying difficulties, and even a terrain park and half pipe!

Oslo Vinterpark is actually the result of the combination of the Tryvann and Wyller parks, so you get access to twice the skiing area. For beginners, the easiest run (besides those in the family area) is in the Tryvann section of the park. The more difficult runs (red and black) are in the Wyller section.

The park is open seven days a week during the winter season, which usually lasts from November/December until the end of Easter (there may be reduced opening hours around the holidays). Current opening hours can be found here.

Lift passes

As of the 2023/2024 season, day pass tickets are 470 NOK for adults and 400 NOK for children under 16.

If you’re staying in Oslo for a while, a yearly membership costs 3,468 NOK. This membership is also valid in Skimore’s Drammen and Kongsberg locations.

You can find the most up-to-date lift pass prices on the Skimore website.

Equipment rental

Oslo Vinterpark Tryvann has an equipment rental station where you can get any equipment you need for skiing or snowboarding.

For adults, a full set of skiing or snowboarding equipment costs about 480 NOK to rent for the day. For kids, renting a full set of gear costs 380 NOK. A complete list of up-to-date prices for equipment rentals can be found here.

The Oslo Pass includes a 15% discount on ski rentals at Oslo Vinterpark.

Skiing and snowboarding classes

If you need some instruction before hitting the slopes, Oslo Vinterpark offers ski and snowboard lessons for both complete beginners and those with some experience.

Prices for private lessons start at around 960 NOK. Group lessons for all ages are offered on the weekends.

Vidsjå Cafe

Oslo Vinterpark has a cafe called Vidsjå. Vidsjå is located at the Tryvann entrance to the park, right across from the ski rental building. At Vidsjå, you can grab something to eat or a hot drink to warm up with after a long day of skiing or snowboarding.

The cafe offers a wide variety of food options – from hamburgers and fries to sushi. Most importantly, after a day of skiing (for me, at least), they serve hot chocolate!

Getting to Oslo Vinterpark via public transportation

Oslo Vinterpark is easily accessible by public transportation!

If it is your first time visiting Oslo Vinterpark, the Tryvann part of the park is where you can pick up your lift pass. It is also where the equipment rental station is located.

To get to Oslo Vinterpark Tryvann, take metro line 1 to the Voksenkollen stop. From there, you can ride one stop on bus 48 (towards Tryvann) to get to the park or walk up the hill on the other side of the metro (this is a bit of a hike, especially with gear, so I suggest trying to time it to catch the bus!).

You can also access the Wyller part of the park by taking the metro line 2 to Røa and then getting on the Røa T bus towards Søkedalen. From the Wyllerveien stop, it is just a 7-minute walk to the park.
