Tryvann is a small lake in Nordmarka, the forest area just north of Oslo city, near the Holmenkollen ski jump. By the water lies a cabin called Tryvannstua, in which there is a café regularly open both during summer and winter. On a hill above the lake looms the television tower Tryvannstårnet ("The Tryvann tower"), visible from most of Oslo.

Tryvann vinterpark is an alpine ski resort in the area around Tryvann, with 14 slopes and 7 lifts. The longest run (Wyllerløypa) is 1,400 metres, with a drop of 381 metres. The resort has a fairly large terrain park featuring edge rails, boxes, jib features and a full-scale halfpipe, regularly hosting some minor national skiing and snowboarding competitions.
