Why Holmenkollen Ski Jump matters
Holmenkollen is where Norwegians go to watch ski jumping, and the tower is a landmark visible from the city. A museum at the base tells the story of skiing, and you can ride up to the viewing platform for wide views over Oslo and the fjord. Zipline and simulator adventures are for thrill-seekers. The ride from central Oslo takes about 30 minutes by metro.
Talking points
- It's reachable by metro from the centre.
- The museum covers the history of skiing.
- The top gives a panorama of Oslo and the fjord.
