Snowshoeing · Oslo
Snowy spruce forest above the city, no skiing skills needed.
Snowshoes let you walk straight into the snow-laden forest above Oslo without learning to ski. Guided small-group tours leave from the end of the metro line with snowshoes and poles supplied, and finish with views over the fjord.
Why it is a winter thing: It needs snow cover in the forest above the city.
Tours are listed from November to April; snow is most reliable from January to March.
Small-group tour with snowshoes, poles and transport included.

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.
Keep off groomed ski tracks with snowshoes, dress in layers, and do not cross lake ice unless the guide has checked it.
