Sortie rapide à vélo de Oslo à Kolbotn

If you’re up for a smooth ride just south of Oslo, try this route to Kolbotn! You’ll start right in downtown Oslo—so maybe grab a coffee or snap a photo by Oslo S before you roll out. Most of the way is paved and a whopping 94% is asphalt, so your tires (and legs) will thank you.

This 19 km ride sends you out of the city and into quieter suburbs, rolling along cycleways and peaceful roads. Expect some climbing (about 360 meters ascent), but nothing too wild—it’s mostly gradual and any hills reward you with swooping downhills and steady views. You’ll pass parks and small lakes, and if you time it right, you might catch locals idling by the water.

Kolbotn is a cozy town known for its laid-back vibe and the Kolben cultural center. There are great spots for a post-ride treat by the lake as well! Whether you’re commuting or just exploring, this route is a perfect mix of city energy and suburban tranquility.
