Once in Norway you cannot leave without trying our national sport!

This trip is a skiing course, conducted in a scenic surrounding and relaxed atmosphere for the ones who have never tried cross country skiing before or still lack basic techniques.

We ski in flat terrain, mostly on prepared trails on the top of Tromsøya island, only 5 minutes drive from the city center.

At first we teach basic techniques and begin to ski in a flat area.

By the end of the tour you can challenge yourself on small hills and you should be able to practice your new skills on your own later on.

What To Expect

This is your perfect opportunity to learn to cross-country ski in a scenic and relaxed environment. Your professional ski guide will teach you the fundamentals from the ground up, starting with the essentials like how to use your ski bindings, how to fall "the right way" to avoid injury, and—most importantly—how to get back up on your own. From there, you will practice how to walk, run, and glide with your skis on prepared, flat trails. After gaining some practice, you'll get the chance to challenge yourself on small hills, learning the techniques to walk up and safely slide down. After this tour, many of our guests feel confident enough to rent skis and continue practicing on their own. It's great fun at all times!

We had a great introduction session with Mathieu. He was easy to chat to and gave us just enough information, as well as freedom to progress, as we were able to. The blackcurrant tea and tasty snacks were an added bonus!

Was a fun, fantastic day & introduction to skiing. Joana Was an excellent guide/instructor. Very patient and friendly. Halfway through the activity, we stopped for some Solbærtee (blackcurrant tea) which was absolutely delicious. Dress for cold weather but you will get very hot as skiing can be quite physically demanding. Would definitely recommend 10/10
What fun!

Heli was such an incredible instructor and made learning how to cross country ski really easy and fun. For someone that's never put a ski on their life, it's definitely made me want to do it more. 10/10 would do it again and thank you Heli!

A brilliant experience learning to ski in Norway. I had never been skiing, but Marta was incredibly kind, patient and helpful. A lot of fun if not a little scary initially, and the lefse was a great treat at the end too!
