The newest Ski jump in the world!
paedrus 3 contributions Maia, Portugal Jan 1, 2012
Holmenkollen Ski Jump is the newest ski jump in the world. It's completely free to visit (on the outside) and you can get great views from the shop (due to a glass wall with a panoramic view of the arena and the city.
It has also a coffee shop which has a terrace with a great view of the city.
If you want to experience the adrenaline of down the hill skiing, try the Ski Simulator.
There's the possibility to go up to the Jump Tower and it costs 110 NOK (with Ski Museum entrance included).
I'm very satisfied with my visit to Holmenkollen, and with a doubt I recommend it. If you have good weather (without fog), feel free to go up to the Jump Tower. You'll have great views over Oslo!This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

After a delightful breakfast at Cafe Kafistova, we decided to go to the Vigeland Park.
It's chilly outside and it's still snowing. What a …
