HI Oslo Haraldsheim

Norway's biggest hostel located a few stops from the city centrum, on the top of the hill of Sinsen, you will immediately notice the private surroundings and a secure and safe environment. The benefits of having the hostel at some distance from the city are many for our guests, especially since we are surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes as far as the eye can see. You will also discover all the different hiking and swimming opportunities nearby. For city adventure - Oslo has a lot to offer, especially free activities in the summertime. Experience the summer islands, Hovedøya, Langøyene and Gressholmen with a short ferry trip from centrum. What about taking a walk and exposing your mind to beautiful street arts in different parts of the town? Picnic at Vigelandsparken, one of the world’s most famous sculpture parks? In other words, the “what to do” is many in Oslo.

We have embarked on this volunteer program with joy and excitement. Together we will give an experience to people that they will never forget, while we ourselves expand our own horizons by getting in touch with others. You will be greeted and welcomed by our friendly staff who can hardly wait to spend the summer with the volunteers.

Dear Hannah,
Thank you so much for everything you brought to the team during your time with us – your positivity, care, and strong sense of responsibility truly made a difference.

I would truly recommend this experience to anyone! I had a really great time meeting guests and the other volunteers. The schedule is flexible, so it is really up to you and the other volunteers on how you plan your time. Amarilis is great volunteer coordinator and made me feel incredibly welcome when I first arrived!

This programm of HI Norway is truly a gem. It’s a great time for oneself but one is also actually creating a positive impact on the hostel.
I stayed in both places, Bergen and Oslo. Together with the other volunteers you can decide which activities you want to do with the guests. It was always super fun, since you meet a lot of people and the spirit it the volunteer team was amazing. In Bergen you meet more people and therefore it’s also more volunteers. I preferred that but I also loved my stay in Oslo. In both places you quickly become Friends with the staff and Amarilis is a great boss.
