Skogen is a station on the Holmenkollen Line located between Voksenlia and Lillevann, in Oslo, Norway. The station is at an altitude of 378 meters (1,240 ft) above mean sea level. The station was opened on 16 May 1916 with the extension of the line from Besserud to Frognerseteren. The architect for the station was Erik Glosimodt.[1]
