I took my two children (aged eight and 11) tobogganing and hired two large wooden sledges. It was great fun and very safe. The scenery is beautiful, but if you’re there in the winter, go early in the morning, as it gets dark very quickly.

The sledge path takes you down the mountain to the metro stop and you just get the train back up the mountain again, as many times as you want.

It’s about £4 for a day pass for the metro and train and about £7 to hire a sledge.

Take the local metro to the top of the toboggan run at Frognerseteren station; but remember go get off the metro briefly at Voksenkollen station to hire your sledges at the Tryvann Winter Park

From any station in the city centre, hop on tube line 1 in the direction of Frognerseteren, and watch in awe as the train leaves Oslo behind, zigzags its way up into the forested hills and stops at the top. Spectacular. If you have plenty of time, walk down to Lake Sognsvann, and take tube no 5 back to town.
