If you turn your gaze towards the land and up, you will spot the impressive ski resort, Holmenkollen. It's a natural stop during winter, whether you have skis on or not. Here, professionals, hikers, and spectators from around the world gather for ski jumping, cross-country skiing and biathlon, whether it's a Sunday outing, a World Championship, or the Olympics. But don't despair if you visit in the summer. During that time, the winter sports haven transforms into a green oasis for local hikers and visiting tourists. They enjoy the beautiful trails, visit the ski museum, learn about Norwegian ski heroes, and then venture up to the ski jump tower, where they can see large parts of Norway. Behind Holmenkollen lies Frognerseteren, a historic landmark turned into a living museum area, blending modern elements with the surrounding nature. In the middle of the forest, Roseslottet stands in gold, featuring over 300 monumental artworks dedicated to democracy, legal security, and humanism. A little further up in Åssiden is Skimore’s facility at Tryvann, offering inviting alpine slopes for both adults and children. This is where Norwegians truly embrace nature. With a smile on their faces and the joy of outdoor life in their hearts, they explore these areas with the motto "Out on a hike, never grumpy." The nature around Holmenkollen and Frognerseteren is living proof that humans and nature go hand in hand. Just give it a try!
