Tobogganing · Oslo
Two kilometres downhill on a sled, with the metro as the lift.
Korketrekkeren — the Corkscrew — drops 255 metres over two kilometres from Frognerseteren to Midtstuen. A run takes eight to ten minutes, the track is free, and you ride the metro back to the top with your sled.
Why it is a winter thing: Open only when there is enough natural snow on the track.
December to March, snow permitting. Check that it is open before you go.
Free
about NOK 150
adult per day; under 16 about NOK 115

This works as a day trip from Oslo, so there is no need to stay over. If you want to turn it into a weekend, see how cabin rental works.
Wear a helmet. The track gets fast and icy and collisions cause most injuries — keep your distance, never stop in the track, and small children ride with an adult.
