About
Oslo Sommerpark is primary a climbingpark, but we are also much much more. The Park is situated on the top of Oslos Holmenkollen area, close to the nature and is as close to the geographical centre of the Oslo muncipalty as possible. In addition to climbing, we also do bikerental, guided tours, radiocarsrental(!) and is also a popular site for tailormade experiences for groups like busnisses, weddings, schooltrips and bachelorparties. The Climbingpark is the biggest one in Oslo og the most visited i Norway. We offer climbing for basicly everyone, regardless of skill or age.

If you are afraid of heights this might not work for you. I have visited this climbing park a couple of times before but now they have a new system making it impossible to fall down. There are a number of zip lines in addition to a zip line only trail. I did the "Tiger jump" which is a 75 feet jump straight down. It's pretty scary on top but the jump down went really slow. I did three circuits but the last one was a black and even if I thought I was in good shape there was no way I could complete it. You need a lot of balance. Much better for the kids than letting them watch a movie or playing on their phones. Check the weather to make sure it doesn't rain

Plan whole day here ... as there are many activities (around 12 in climbing park) and that too very well organised in incrementally (difficulty level wise) with colour coded in martial art form style. Difficulty level increases from light green to dark green to light blue to dark blue to purple and finally black .
They provide basis training and if start with light green and gradually try the harder level ... you will feel more confidence and competent
Staffs are very friendly and they provide all the equipment
Special charge (discounts) for group
There is a cafe as well where you can get waffles sandwiches and hotdogs
Excellent location , the location itself can be a tourist attraction...

Visited Oslo Summer Park today with my nervous 7 year old. Neither of us are particularly fond of heights but after a few times round the training area she was loving it! I have to admit I was not particularly looking forward to it but I really enjoyed it too. My daughter was under 140cm so we were limited to 4 courses, this sounds limiting but it really isn't.
The scenery was stunning, even without any hint of sunshine. We got the train from Oslo centre and the journey was easy. The walk was pretty steep but only a few minutes.
All the staff were super friendly, to be fair, everyone we've met here in Oslo has been. The lady with red hair and the guy who supports Everton in particular were great at helping boost my daughters confidence.
We will have to come back in the winter for some ski practice!

This is a very safe and well made park, where you're always secured by a comfortable climbing harness.
We spent a good few hours among the tree tops, trying out the different runs going from beginner level to more challenging routes. It's laid out in a way that will suit anyone, as long as you're not afraid of heights.
We had two nephews (6 and 9 years) along and they absolutely loved every second!
Will definitely come back next summer; I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid myself!

The view was absolutely stunning and I enjoyed every last second of being here.
I'd like to say that I didn't cry at any point (I'm scared of heights) but alas, that is a lie and I'm a big cry baby lol.
The hut that sells food and drinks is also a nice touch and the woman working there was incredibly nice and kind.
However, the instruction guide on how to use the equipment was only done in Norwegian and my husband and I had to figure out what to do ourselves, which took about 20 minutes and a cue of unhappy people waiting behind us!
Apart from that, the staff were very funny and entertaining and I would not hesitate to return again!!

Definitely recommend this. Our 5yr old and 7yr old girls loved this. Beyond the ski jump in Sommer Park, easy to find. Easy for kids to grasp how the carabiners work. It was an all day event for us as we needed to rest as we went. Make sure you venture into the right hand lower side - truly feels like you are deep in a Norwegian forest. English speaking, friendly instructors. Lots of zip wires. All courses well marked. No queues. Toilets and small cafe - take your own food in and picnic. Can get pretty high up. You do need a basic level of fitness as have to pull yourself up onto platform at end of zip wires and squat down to duck under metal ropes to get onto the next element. The tunnels are v. difficult for the over 40s! Next day prepare for some bruises and sore bodies, but 100% worth it. Kids of all ages accommodated for. Highly recommend.

Brilliant high ropes activity for all ages. I can understand why people may may think the park is hard to find but you need to plan on how to get there and not solely rely on directions at the station! Little cafe by the park was really nice (and cheap) and the views were spectacular

Sommerpark is awesome! I highly recommend it. My husband and I took our teenage nephew to Sommerpark, and we all had a fantastic time. There are courses suitable for ages and skill levels. While a couple of the obstacles were a little hard on the knees for those of us in our 40s, it was very much worth it. The zip lines between the obstacles were superb. The location is absolutely beautiful. I was sometimes glad when the course got a little backed up so I could just stand on the platform and soak in the stunning surroundings. We were there about 5 hours and wish we could have stayed longer. There were some courses we would have loved to go through a second time. If we’re ever in Oslo again in the summer, we’ll definitely go back. It was very easy to get to using public transportation. Take Metro line 1 (we got on at Nationaltheatret) toward Frognerseteren and get off at the second-to-last stop, follow the sign directing you across a small bridge, walk up the hill, veer left at the top, cross the parking lot, and you’ll be at the rental center. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the train station. I would suggest wearing gloves on the courses if it's your first time. After grabbing ropes and cables all afternoon, our hands were a little tender by the time we left. It was a small price to pay for an incredible afternoon of fun.

"Fantastico, Oslo Sommerpark!" my daughter enthused, after we told her the Oslo Winter Park is still open for climbing during summer, with 900 metres of zip-lines.
If you came to Oslo in summer with kids, that's a quintessential experience of thrilling day high in the treetops.
Reaching this park is easy thanks to metro network. Alight at Vokseenkollen station. During your walk to the Sommerpark, you will experience an untouched forest. A pleasant walk before your hair-raising zip climb.
After rental of gears and short introduction by the coach, off you go. Simply check the colour of each route, and you'll find the level of difficulty (or window of tolerance) that fits you.
Enjoy.

Close to the centre of Oslo, relatively easy to get to with metro line 1. There were courses for all levels from novice to experienced. Beautiful surroundings!

Are there lockers or anywhere to leave bags at the park? We're coming for the day but are having to use public transport would have to leave bags and coats somewhere. Thanks in advance.

Hello
I think there are lockers but unsure if they are big enough for suitcases. Maybe you should call them?
Or you could leave the big things in lockers at Oslo central train station?
Happy climbing!

We are a family of 5 (Kevin and Amy, 13-yo, 11-yo, 9-yo) who will be in Oslo for one day on a cruise ship this coming July. We are considering visiting the Sommerpark. We have been ziplining as a family previous to this trip, and my 11-year-old daughter was very afraid and refused to continue on after her first ride. Is it possible for her to do some of the climbing / rope bridges / etc without having to ride a zipline? Are there any height or weight requirements?
Many thanks for your help.
--amy.

Hi!
Good to hear from you:)
Most of our routes contains ziplines, but there are some without. Some with ziplines are also possible to escape and we also have kids routes, where the ziplines are pretty short and not very high up.
Our Safety training, wich everyone must complete, contains a 3meter long zipline with 1,5meter amplitude.
Maximum weight is 130kg and the lines are adjusted by hight.
