Holmenkollen, Residential district at 371 meters elevation in Vestre Aker, Norway.

Holmenkollen extends across hills covered with pine forests, connecting the urban landscape of Oslo with natural surroundings through winding roads and paths.

The neighborhood transformed from a rural area into a notable winter sports center after the construction of its first wooden ski jump structure in 1892.

The Holmenkollen Ski Museum, established in 1923, displays 4,000 years of skiing history through equipment, artifacts, and exhibitions about winter sports.

The metro line connects Holmenkollen to central Oslo in 25 minutes, with trains running every 15 minutes from early morning until midnight.

The observation deck at the ski jump provides a 360-degree view extending from Oslo city center to the surrounding fjords and forested hills.
