Holmenkollen Ski Jump

There’s plenty of year-round outdoor and indoor action here: climb 250 steps to the viewing platform for vistas across the scenic wilderness; visit the world’s oldest ski museum at the foot of the jump; try the simulator ride; or go for an adrenaline-rush and zip line 1,180 feet (360 meters) down the length of the jump.

Visit Holmenkollen Ski Jump at your own pace with the Oslo City Pass, which allows free admissions to must-visit attractions such as Kon-Tiki Museum and Akershus Fortress, and discounts at Tusenfryd Theme Park and Oslo Winter Park. Extra benefits include free public transportation in select zones, discounted meals, and more. Or explore the jump as a part of a full-day guided tour that adds on Vigeland Sculpture Park, Viking Ship Museum, Polar Ship Fram Museum, and the Royal Palace and Park.
