How it works

  1. Come to the shop

    Drop in during opening hours. There is nothing to fill in.

  2. We fit skis, boots and poles to you

    Tell us your shoe size and height. We choose the ski length and check that the boots fit.

  3. Ski from the door

    From the stadium the trails lead on into Nordmarka, the forest north of Oslo. Bring the equipment back before we close.

First time on cross-country skis? Choose classic.

Ski in, ski out

The tracks start ten metres from our door: out, down the steps, and you are on them. Come back the same way when you return the skis.

Classic or skate

Classic

You ski in the prepared tracks with a walking, gliding stride. Our classic skis have skins under the middle that grip the snow, so you don’t need wax.

Skate

Shorter skis, stiffer boots and longer poles for skating on the wide groomed lanes. Choose skate if you have skate-skied before.

Questions

Before you come

Do I need to book?
No. Drop in during opening hours and we’ll fit you on the spot. If you want to be sure, reserve skis and we’ll set them aside for your day. Groups of 10 or more: reserve ahead, so we have skis and staff ready.
Is there snow?
Skiforeningen’s trail report tells you what the snow and the trails are like in Oslomarka, the forests around Oslo, Holmenkollen included. The weather at Holmenkollen and the shop’s waxing tips are on our Skiføre page. Trail report for Oslomarka (new tab) Weather and waxing tips in Holmenkollen (new tab)
Where can I ski from here?
First-timers start on the flat by the stadium. Around the stadium there are 5 km of lit tracks. For an easy tour, the 3 km lit trail from Frognerseteren, at the end of metro line 1, runs to Tryvannstua, and from there the trails go on into Nordmarka. Trail map and today’s grooming (new tab)
Do I need a ticket or trail pass?
No. The cross-country trails are free to use. The ski jump and museum have their own tickets.
What should I wear?
Warm layers you can move in, a hat, gloves and warm socks. Avoid jeans: they get cold when wet. Clothing is not part of the rental.
Can I get a lesson or a guide?
Yes. We can arrange an instructor or a guide: a short introduction at the stadium for a first time, or a guided tour in the forest. Tick “Instructor or guide” when you reserve, or call us, and we’ll confirm the details with you.

Equipment

Can children rent?
We have adult sizes only: boots from EU 36 (about UK 3½, US women’s 6 or men’s 4½, a foot about 23 cm long) and skis for about 40 kg and up. That usually means 15 and over, but a younger teenager who fits is welcome. For smaller children, Skimore at Tryvann rents children’s equipment. Children’s rental at Skimore Oslo (new tab)
What sizes do you need?
Your shoe size and your height. We choose the length of the skis and poles, and you try the boots on in the shop.
Can I bring my own ski boots?
Yes. Bring them along and we check that they fit our bindings.

Pickup and return

How long is a rental day?
A rental day follows our opening hours, not 24 hours. Bring the equipment back before we close on your last day: 20:00 Monday to Thursday, 18:00 on Friday and 14:00 at the weekend.
Can I rent for several days?
Yes. A full set costs less per day the longer you keep it. After 5 days, each extra day is 200 NOK.

Reserve skis

We’ll set skis aside for your day and confirm by email or phone. There is nothing to pay until you come.
