Short answer

You can drive to Sognsvann and park in the large car park at the south end of the lake, or take metro line 5 to its last stop. Oslo kommune also names trailhead car parks at Skar in Maridalen and at Ulsrud and Haraløkka. Check the sign or the Bil i Oslo app for fees.

Why

  1. Oslo kommune says you can drive to Sognsvann and park in the large car park at the south end of the lake, or take T-bane line 5 to the terminus.
  2. Skar, at the far end of Maridalen, is the last stop for bus 51 and also has a trailhead car park, according to Oslo kommune.
  3. Oslo kommune lists trailhead parking at Ulsrud and Haraløkka, about 800 metres from the metro at Ulsrudvann, and a car park by Skullerud school near Rustadsaga.

Details

Oslo kommune's price list has separate tariff groups for leisure parking, for example NOK 21 an hour or NOK 95 a day in group 2850. The sign and the Bil i Oslo app show which rules apply where you park. The bathing area at Sognsvann is adapted for universal access and has an accessible toilet.

Tip

With T-bane line 5 to Sognsvann or bus 51 to Skar, you do not depend on finding a free space at the trailhead.

What may differ
