Get started walks: Southern & Northern Kolsåstopp, Bærum - Norway

Similar walk as Skaugumsåsen and Vettakollen. Great views over Bærum, Oslo and inner Oslo fjord. Of the two peaks I think the North peak has a greater view than the South peak. The north peak also has a great steep traverse you can walk but it is steep! Of all the walks around Oslo I think the North top has Oslo’s best view and the best course if you walk the traverse up or down from the top. The south peak are a little more boring (both track and view). However, if you like to rock climb the south peak it’s a popular place for that activity.

Get started walks: Skaugumsåsen & Semsvannet, Asker - Norway

Nice steep short walk up to the top. At the top you have a great view over Asker and the inner Oslo fjord. You can choose many different courses down from the top. I combined this walk with a walk around Semsvannet below the peak. That combination makes this walk one of the best walks around Oslo both in variation and scenery. Great walk for the whole family, exercise, or just to show someone why Asker is a great place to live.

Get started walks: Sognsvann, Oslo - Norway

The notorious dating walk nr 1 in Oslo.  Nice circuit around Sognsvann in Oslo. The walk can also be combined with other nearby courses.  Show off how sporty you are and invite your date for a nice casual walk around the water. And if you don't have a date - No worries it’s always something to look at around this water.

Great Walks Vøringfossen Circuit, Måbudalen - Norway

One of the old tracks from Eidfjord up to Hardangervidda. The walk starts with Måbu Museum and you walk in the valley. At the end of the valley the climb to the top of starts. Pretty steep walk but not too long. At the top you should spend time to view Vøringfossen. Just be careful so you don’t slip and fall out from the cliffs (no security fences). Every second year someone actually do fall out. The walk down along the old road has a beautiful view over the canyon and a more rewarding scenery than the walk up. Highly recommend this walk.

Get started walks: Ustedalsfjorden, Geilo - Norway

Easy walk around Ustedalsfjorden at Geilo - the gate to Hardangervidda. Geilo one of my favorite places in Norway and a place I will have as a starting point for many of my hiking trips in Hardangervidda over the summer. Not the most ecxiting walk but made the list because Geilo it’s a fantastic place winter and summer with lots of activities and great atmosphere.
