This beginner-friendly introduction to cross-country skiing takes you through peaceful Arctic forests with stunning views as your reward.
Learn the basics of cross-country skiing in a scenic and relaxed environment.
No experience needed – everybody can enjoy this easy and pleasant small- group activity.
Short transfers, no irrelevant or boring talking, active time – it’s just great fun!
From the ship, it’s a short bus transfer to the top of Tromsøya Island where you’ll meet your experienced instructors. They’ll first teach you some basic techniques, from how to get your skis on and off, to how to ski across a flat area.
Once you’ve found your feet, the guides will lead you along flat terrain, most of which is on pre-scouted trails suitable for your level. As you become more accustomed to skiing and get more confident on the snow, your instructors will introduce more techniques. By the end of the tour, you might even be able to navigate up and over small hills.
Along the way, you’ll stop for warm juice and a piece of local pastry – a welcome pause to catch your breath and take in the surroundings.

Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed
These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
