Kollensvevet
Atop the world’s oldest ski-museum, the iconic Holmenkollen ski-jump and a zip-line adventure



In the warmer months, when its iconic ski jump isn’t host to world-class skiers gracefully landing jumps of some 100 metres, Holmenkollenbakken offers a similarly flighty experience in the Kollensvevet zipline. Running some 361 metres long and descending 107 metres in a similarly expeditious nature as the ski jumpers, this adrenaline-fuelled activity gives a singularly unique chance to see the world and slope from the perspective of a world-class sportsperson.
