Oslo's Scenic Fjord Hike & Chef's Norwegian Forest Waffle

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Andreas, who owns the company, looked after us incredibly well with lots of personal touches. He is an exceptional guide and chef! Thank you! Lovely forest scenery with the highlight being the sensational view of Oslo Fjord and the Olympic ski jump. Picked wild blueberries on the way.Finished by a beautiful lake where Andreas cooked us ( Norwegian) waffles to die for with all the trimmings Though it’s a little out of town easy to get to the meet point on the Metro and Andreas dropped us off at the Metro to get us back into Oslo centre All great from start to finish. Highly recommended!

This is the best excursion that you can book for your trip in Oslo. The meeting point is super easy to find. The hike itself is manageable for people of all fitness levels and incredibly family-friendly. You start near the top of the climb and hike down, so there is not a lot of hiking uphill. There are only a few points where the terrain becomes steep and rocky as you descend, so be sure to wear proper shoes to help you safely navigate these areas. Andreas provides hiking poles if you would like, and we found them to be quite helpful through these rockier spots. We forgot to pack our hiking boots, but our tennis shoes served us just fine on this hike! Andreas was simply amazing. He is energetic and incredibly personable. Andreas teaches you all about friluftsliv, as well as a few other words in Norwegian to help you get a better understanding of the culture and atmosphere of Oslo. We recommend going on this hike towards the beginning of your stay here, as Andreas provides you with a written list of recommendations for places to eat and attractions worth going to at the end of the hike. Oh, and did I mention the food? Even picky eaters will enjoy the waffles and the sweet treat provided at the end of the hike. The waffles are incredible! Beware of the ducks; they'll climb right up into your lap for a taste! At one of the scenic stops we were provided some delicious tea and a little chocolate as a pick me up. Do not go on any other hike that provides food unless it is from Andreas and Troll Tours! He is a true chef, and it is well worth every penny! Skål!

Brilliant 3.5 hours. The trip took us out of the busy centre and into the countryside. Andreas was there to meet us and was an exceptional guide on our hike. Didn’t mind our slightly slower pace and the other participants were lovely also. We all swam in the lake which was super refreshing and when we got out there were fantastic freshly cooked norwegian waffles waiting for us. Andreas made the walk fun and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend.

This was my first time booking a tour like this, I cannot recommend it enough! It made my solo trip in Oslo much more enjoyable. Everything was as described, I promise it’s just as good as the pictures show ! I was a bit worried about the hike being too hard, but luckily the tempo that day wasn’t too high and it was just good. I’m not in the best shape but it was very doable . Best part without doubt was the swimming in the lake and the waffles! Andreas was a great guide and I would 100% do it again!

It's amazing, as long as you are healthy and up for climbing up and down a mountain (with excellent guidance) you will have a wonderful time. The views of the city are unparalleled and Andreas as a tour guide is fun and full of interesting facts. We were treated to some delicious waffles in the Norwegian style at the end of our hike and it was the perfect way to spend half a day with the family 😊

This was a delightful hike! Andreas is a great guide and a wonderful cook - the waffles were scrumptious! Best waffles I had all weekend in Norway!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Do in Oslo! Unforgettable Fjord Views, Folklore, and Waffles If you have a morning to spare in Oslo, do not hesitate to book the Oslo Scenic Fjord Hike and Norwegian Forest Waffle with Troll Tours. It was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! What truly sets this tour apart is the owner and guide, Andreas. His passion, sociability, and deep knowledge make the morning special. Throughout the trek, he seamlessly interweaves genuine Norwegian folklore with hilarious personal anecdotes that kept the whole group engaged and laughing. Andreas goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels included. He distributes his attention equally across the group, taking the time to learn where people are from and what they are interested in. Thanks to his impressive global travel experience, he can easily relate to almost anyone in the group! As for the hike itself, the views of the Oslofjord and the city skyline are simply breathtaking—a total dream for nature lovers. While we found the hike very manageable with a good level of fitness, Andreas is incredibly attentive and carefully paces the walk to suit the entire group’s rhythm. And, of course, stopping for authentic Norwegian forest waffles was the perfect touch. A complete 5-star experience. Thank you, Andreas and Troll Tours!

Hiking tour was awesome and Andeas was great. I would definitely recommend.

A great experience for the whole family. The most beautiful nature just outside of Oslo. Guide Andreas provided us with walking poles, mats to sit on, snacks, drinks and delicious wafles. He is very friendly and knows a lot about the Norwegian history, language and food. He is a great host. We would do the tour again if we had the chance.

The only tour of its kind on offer in Oslo and it is a must do activity when visiting the city. The guide has a great energy level and is very kind and passionate. The hike was th right level of difficulty to be rewarding but achievable. This is the only way to eat a proper Norwegian waffle!
