All about Kapellskogen – this year's Marka celebration

View from Kapellskogen towards Holmenkollen

This year there will not be the traditional field festival, but we still want young and party-loving people to have a good time and create a good atmosphere in Kollen We therefore welcome the traditional market audience to Kapellskogen !

Do you have a ticket for Kapellskogen You have access to the arena with the festival streets, and thus the opportunity to take advantage of the food offerings and activities there. You are welcome to set up your tent on the regular tent sites and go down to the arena to catch the athletes as they fight for the gold.

IN Kapellskogen The same advance rules apply as in Marka, and it is important that you come prepared. This way we can have fun together, and at the same time take care of nature and each other. We hope you will join us and cheer on the athletes as they sail past on the trails!

Here we have collected some information so that you can come as well prepared as possible.

  • Extra socks
  • Good, warm shoes
  • Seat pads
  • Packed lunch/grilled food (but you can also buy food on the festival street)

Waste management

It is important to us that everyone makes an effort to keep nature clean. There will be many waste disposal points with orange beach flags placed in the area so that they are clearly visible.

Feel free to bring your own garbage bag as well, to collect waste during the day if you have set up camp with your family or group of friends.

It is NOT allowed to have glass bottles in the field as they can break and pose a great danger to people and wildlife in the snow. Remember that Kapellskogen is a drug-free area, so it is not possible to bring alcoholic beverages. There will be a bag and thermos check at the entrance.

We are very happy that Norsk Gjenvinning is on the team, which handles the waste from the entire Ski Festival, including from Marka.
