The Kollen Café
Whether you want to warm up with a cup of cocoa, relax on a bench or buy yourself dinner - then you can visit theKollen café, located between the ski jump and the main entrance.
This opens at the same time as the arena and has free entrance.
In the evening, the Kollenkafé is transformed into Kollen's Aprés-ski. Then the good atmosphere continues with a DJ and good vibes where adults over 18 can rock out and have fun, or just warm up and mingle around with good music until 11 pm. For entrance to Aprés-ski you have to buy your own ticket.

We have two festival streets during the event – North and South.
Partners create competitions and other entertainment that you can use on your way to the stands and public areas.
In the festival streets you will find the exciting food trucks with a varied food and beverage selection.

The main stand has capacity for over 4,000 guests. The seats give you a fantastic view of the entire cross-country stadium. You can also follow the athletes on the big screen and be right in the heart of the world-famous Kollen atmosphere. Music and the speaker get everyone going with the Kollen roar and competitions.

The A-stand gives you the very best spot on the Ski jumping stand during the Ski jumping competitions. If you have purchased a ticket for this part of the stand, you get a fantastic view of Oslo, and not least of the Ski jumpers who almost come floating over your head. If you have a ticket with B-H you can choose all other places. In any case, you get a good view of airy flights and experience the famous Kollen roar!
