Description:
Norwegians are avid cross country skiiers and Sunday seems to be the perfect day for it. In 1933, a group of Christian college students commissioned the building of Nordmarkskapellet (the chapel of Nordmarka forest) to provide a place of worship during their Sunday skiing. For skiiers in winters and cyclists in summer, a short service is held on Sundays at noon. Also popular is the cafe, where you can buy hot chocolate and waffles (and skiing wax). Nordmarkskapellet seats 400 people and can be rented for various functions. Spend the night in the chapel or in a neighboring cottage. To get to Nordmarkskapellet, take the bus to Sørkedalen, then walk or bike the rest. In winter, you can ski from
Frognerseteren.
