Discover Nesodden
Accommodation in Nesodden
If you are planning a stay in Nesodden, you can make coastal trails, art and nature the focus of your visit. The options vary by location and season: the Kyststien has a described route, while cultural venues, a park and seasonal activities offer further points of interest.
Getting there and finding your way
The Ruter ferry from Aker Brygge to Nesoddtangen takes about 25 minutes. From there, buses connect with services that take travelers further around the peninsula. Travel times and timetables may change, so check the current connections before your trip. If you are planning to travel by Ruter ferry and bus, you can take these connections into account when finding your way around Nesodden.
Kyststien and its destinations
From the Blylaget brygge landing, Kyststien follows the Bunnefjorden coast north to the main terminal at Nesoddtangen. It then runs south along the Oslofjord to Fagerstrand. The route description thus names destinations on both fjords and continues south from Nesoddtangen to Fagerstrand.
The eastern section of Kyststien also offers a distinct landmark: it is marked with blue hiking markers and leads to the Tangen brygge landing, where a boat departs for Oslo. The markers and named destination help you incorporate this section into your route planning. The connection to Oslo is described as a boat trip.
Art, concerts and a public park
Nesodden Church is used for concerts, including the Kantorissimo concert series. If you would like to include a concert in your stay, check the program for the event, as details may change.
Nesoddparken Kunstsenter has about 60 studios and workspaces for professionals in art and culture, and also serves as a visitor center. The public park surrounding Nesoddparken has paths, a sculpture park and a children’s play area. This area thus features both the arts and cultural center and a park with several specifically named elements.
Nature and activities at different times of year
The old feldspar mines at Spro are suited to an outing where you can explore the tunnels and combine your visit with a swim. In summer, Brattbakken ski slope offers downhill riding on varied trails for beginners and experienced riders, with a lift serving the trails. As this is a seasonal offering, check operating dates in advance.
Eikeskogen near Røer is considered the world’s northernmost continuous oak forest, covers about 300 decares and offers nature experiences throughout the year. The options differ considerably when planning by season: the downhill offering at Brattbakken is available in summer, while Eikeskogen offers nature experiences year-round.
Nesodden Kayak Club offers regular tours, beginner and advanced courses, as well as weekly group paddling trips during much of the year. Participation and the rental of kayaks and equipment are reserved for members. If you are planning kayaking activities, take this membership requirement into account and check the club’s current schedule.
