More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The air tastes of salt and cold as studded tires whisper over packed snow and the city slips behind you. Riders move at an easy, collective pace—heads turned toward the glittering Oslo Fjord, the King's summer house on the shoreline, and the dark, carved hulls of the Viking Ship Museum on the low peninsula of Bygdøy. Snow-laden pines lean in as if to watch you pass.
