Oslo Trail Adventure - Vettakollen

From city to trail adventure

Distance: 12 km
Pace: 6:30–7:30 min/km on trail
Duration: About 1 h 30 min
Group size: Max 5

The run locals do. We take the metro to the forest edge and head straight onto singletrack: spruce forest, lakes, moss, and a couple of honest climbs with a view back over the city. Technical in places and weather-dependent, so some trail experience helps. Choose your own date — private and small-group departures are arranged on request.
