Hello!

Welcome to Vallerullere, a Norwegian social/rec inline skating club in Oslo, the capitol of Norway. Surprisingly we actually get a few hits from around Europe and this page is just to help you understand what's going up here in our part of Scandinavia. You might also just recently have arrived in Oslo, not being fluent in Norwegian, and wondering where to skate!

We meet once a week, every Tuesday at 17:00, for a bit of easy skate practice at Valle Hovin near Helsfyr in Oslo. Both busses and the underground stop nearby this open air winter ice speed skating track. We welcome all skaters, usually splitting the group up in a beginners and an advanced section, some staying at the track and some doing a group skate in the neighbourhood. We rent out inline skates, pads and helmets if you are a beginner or just visiting Oslo this Tuesday afternoon.

We sometimes manage an easy Saturday or Sunday day skate just for fun.

We have been known to travel a bit with our inlines and are always interested in skating elsewhere. Members have skated in Denmark, Sweden, France, the Netherlands and the USA.

One particular member, who has too much time on his hands, has attended both Barry Publow's and Eddy Matzger's workshops here in Europe. He usually skates around recommending them warmly. He also dreams of a night skate in Oslo.

We would love more people to come, the more the merrier.

There are some kids that come now and again, it would be more fun if there were more. We can offer slalom practice, have hockey equipment and have been known to have a jump or two.

We are one of the two social skating scenes in Oslo and have been mentioned in a national newpaper and the official Norwegian skating web portal amongst other places.

Feel free to take contact if you have any skating in Oslo questions, just decipher my email address below. If I can't help I probably know someone who can. Until then, skate safe!
