Take Line 1 to Holmenkollen or walk up from Oslo city center
If you choose to use public transportation, there will be frequent fast train departures to Holmenkollen station that will start early in the morning. These will be marked "Holmenkollen express" and they will stop at all downtown stations. Majorstuen will be the last stop before they run non-stop up to Holmenkollen. Relief buses have also been organised departing from Majorstuen station that will go directly to Midtstuen. From here, spectators will be able to walk up to the Holmenkollen Cross Country arena (about 1 km).

Please go to www.ruter.no for more information and timetables. All tickets to the WSC include free public transport in Oslo.

We also encourage spectators to walk up to Holmenkollen. It takes about 1 ½ hours to walk up from Majorstuen. Follow Slemdalsveien to Slemdal, and continue up Frognerseterveien to Midtstuen station. From here it is about 1 km up to Holmenkollen Cross-country arena and Holmenkollen Ski Jump stadium.

Return trip
Spectators are welcome to stay seated after the competition is finished, to watch the flower ceremony. This way you can avoid ending up in the biggest queues out of the arena. 

If you choose to take the metro on the return trip to city center, we recommend you to go to Holmenkollen Station. There will be som waiting due to the volume of people exiting the arena. For those who choose to walk, we recommend to go down through Midtstulia to Majorstuen, or to Røa/Smestad and take Line 2 from here.

Medal ceremony and closing ceremony 
Award ceremony takes place on the Cross-Country stadium immediately after the last 50 km athlete has crossed the finishing line. Immediately after the medal winners have been awarded, the closing ceremony will take place in the same arena.
