About
Oslo's most popular toboggan run starts at Frognerseteren and ends at Midtstuen metro station. At the end of a run, you can catch the metro back up to Frognerseteren for another run. Korktrekkeren is 2000 metres long, and the elevation drop is 255 metres. One non-stop ride at full speed takes 8-10 minutes. The metro from Midtstuen to Frognerseteren takes 13 minutes. Sled rentals Sleds for rent (Akeforeningen) next to Frognerseteren Restaurant, at the bottom of the hill from the Frognerseteren subway stop. Helmet rental is free.

    A great Day out
    Visited here with my wife and two adults sons and had a great day. We traveled to Frognerseteren from central Oslo and picked up sleds and helmets near to the train station. We then hurtled down the Korketrekken, crashed, wiped out and got soaking wet and it was the best day of our holiday. We were lucky to be there in early March as there were very few others on the run so we were able to race each other and crash without worrying about others. Apparently it can get very busy so not sure what it would be like in peak season but for us it was fantastic.

    Glad we did it. Fantastic fun.
    Fantastic family fun. Went when there was pretty heavy snow cover - conditions meant track had some quick spots but not particularly dangerous. Main danger was hitting other people who stopped around corners - but pretty safe with some common sense. Took kids ages 16 and 13 and they loved it. Hire is reasonable cost and rides down are free. Buy a metro ticket for whole day which is reasonable and just head up mountain again and again. Very glad we did it. Great family activity. Some bumpy bumps so you gotta take a bit physically as well if you get up some speed.

    Super fun and scary
    Went with some friends and we brought our own sleds (two on each sled). You can also rent a sled there, but I don't think they come with a brake. It was really fun, but also scary because there are so many people sledding down. Beautiful views though! I chose not to go again this year, but for reference I wouldn't do a loop at an amusement park either. The t-bane was a bit full, but its right by the top and bottom of the track. Would go again if there was a bit more snow (there was sparks coming up from under some sleds). (I don't remember when I was there either early 2021 or late 2020).

I think that it is awesome that you can sled for 10 minutes nonstop. Just catch the train back up. Warm coffee and waffles up top make it awesom

Been going here since I was a child, great fun. Remember to wear a helmet, it can get really fast down the slopes.

Amazing. Such a laugh. Get the metro to Frogneseteren. Walk down to the restaurant to hire the sledge. And prepare for hours of fun.

Made the journey all the way out from central Oslo only to find that the tobogganing slopes are closed on the Sundays before Christmas. Not an entirely wasted journey as there are plenty of picturesque walks through the snowy forests, but disappointing that we didn’t get our adrenaline rush. Perhaps they should advertise their Christmas closures more widely..?

This is an amazing Winter activity. Just what we, as kids, always dreamt of: long toboggan ride - 2 km in this case - and then you don't have to run uphill on foot. Instead, you get to use the Oslo metro line 1 from Midstuen to Frognerseteren which takes about 15 minutes. During the weekend the metro is quite crowded and sometimes you can't even get on the first one arriving which means that sometimes there is a waiting time of 15-20 minutes. For anyone who does not have a toboggan, you can rent one (single or double) at Frognerseteren (helmets included). If you have your own equipment, then using the track is completely free of charge (except the metro tickets of course).
For safety reasons, I would recommend using a sled with a wheel and possibly breaks too, so you can control the speed and direction better as some parts of the track have quite challenging turns.
Sometimes the track gets very crowded and the other people also impose a danger factor upon the ride. Teenagers tend to be quite reckless. I do not recommend going to Korketrekkeren with smaller children because, in my opinion, it is quite dangerous for them. My 6-year-old did not enjoy this ride at all. For teens and up, however, Korketrekkeren is a true treasure of Oslo Winter.
