Private Cross-Country Ski Lesson
Staying at Scandic Holmenkollen gives you one of the best locations in Oslo for cross-country skiing. The forest trails start right outside the hotel — and with a private ski lesson, you can make the most of it, whether it’s your first time on skis or you want to improve your technique.
Our instructors come directly to Holmenkollen, so you can step out of the hotel and straight into the snow.
