Luge in Korketrekkeren

If you are looking to get fresh red roses in the cheeks and adrenaline pumping through your veins, we recommend a trip down Korketrekkeren, the Olympic luge track from 1952. This is a single long track from Frognerseteren down to Midtstuen. The trip takes about 10 minutes, in the speed of your preference. On good days you can easily reach a speed of 60 km/h. At the bottom of the track, you just step on the subway back to the top and prepare your self for a new run. Akeforeningen (The Luge Asscosiation) in Oslo or Tom Murstad offers professional sledges and helmets for rent. They also organize mulled wine and camp fires if required.

Skiing & snowboarding

Although Norwegians are born with skis on their feet, we all benefit from a couple of hours practise once in a while. Ask Tom Murstad for lessons "with instructors at all levels and within all forms of skiing". They can also assist with all the necessary equipment and clothing, including transportation between the hotel and the ski resort. Tryvann Alpine Centre is located 10 minutes from the hotel and contains slopes of all difficulty levels. There is also a great new snowboard park and new lifts.

Sleigh ride

An atmospheric experience on a bitingly cold winter night. Frost smoke rises from the ground, and only the sound from the horses bells and the creaking snow, breaks the silence. The participants are warm and cozy sitting covered with plush fur blankets. The sleigh ride can be combined with a gathering around the fire. Entertainment and hot drinks can be arranged if required.
