The national feeling is hardly stronger than in Holmenkollen when there is a World Cup in Nordic branches. The big folk festival is back in March 2026.
In the heart of skiing, you will experience thousands of Norwegian flags, cowbells and a resounding roar of the kollen, and you will follow the action and excitement on the slopes and on the slopes close to the world's best winter sports athletes.
For both children, young people and adults, there are fun activities in our various areas in the arena.
