Itinerary
Step out of Oslo and into a world of authentic flavors, stories, and traditions. Just a 35-minute metro ride from the city center, this experience blends Norway’s nature, food, and culture into one unforgettable adventure. You’ll begin a relaxed forest walk, with your guide sharing insights into Norwegian culture, traditions, and Norway’s mountain gastronomy. Along the way, learn how nature and food are deeply connected in everyday life. We’ll stop at a scenic viewpoint (weather permitting) to enjoy a short break with beautiful views, photo opportunities, and a tasting of local food delicacies before continuing toward our camp spot.
Next, we reach our scenic forest camp. While your chef prepares a lovely mountain banquet, take a refreshing dip in a crystal-clear lake—the perfect summer cool-off before your forest feast is served! Gather around the cauldron while sampling wild Scandinavian meats, accompanied by drinks, anecdotes, and culinary stories.
Relax as your chef prepares fresh, traditional Norwegian waffles for you over the flames – topped with traditional favorites like sweet brown cheese (brunost).
