Experience walking over the snow with modern snowshoes
Enjoy being outdoors while admiring the white Arctic landscape.
Learn more about the nature of the local area with a knowledgeable guide
Relax by a bonfire with a hot drink and snack, perhaps with magical Northern Lights above.
A short bus ride takes you to the top of Tromsøya Island, a peaceful landscape of snow-dusted birch and spruce forests with gently rolling terrain stretching in every direction.
With modern snowshoes strapped on, you’ll feel as though you’re floating across the snow as we set off on a guided winter walk. Breathe in the crisp Arctic air, admire the snowy scenery, and listen as your guide shares insights into local wildlife, nature, and everyday life in Northern Norway.
The walk leads to a clearing where a bonfire awaits. Enjoy a hot drink and a sweet treat while swapping stories around the fire, or relive some childhood fun by sledding down the slopes on a traditional toboggan.
