5.00Timea was an excellent guide! The hike was well paced and Timea was able to accommodate a range of hiking speeds in our group. Did not have the best weather conditions but with Timea's knowledge of the area, we were able to hike up to the ridge of the Glomtinden trail and see the beautiful sight the mountain offered. Would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.
Memories of a lifetime

5.00From the very first step, everything about this guided snowshoe adventure was exceptional. The landscapes were simply breathtaking — endless white, pristine trails, and panoramic views that felt almost unreal. Timea was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate, making the experience both safe and deeply enriching. And then there was the sweetest surprise: the most adorable, gentle dog who accompanied us along the way, sweet Luna🐾❄️. Having this fluffy companion trotting happily through the snow added so much warmth and joy to the journey — it honestly made the day even more special. This wasn’t just a tour; it was a magical immersion in nature, peace, and beauty. We left with a full heart, unforgettable memories, and a huge smile. If you’re looking for an authentic, soul-filling winter experience with jaw-dropping views and a touch of pure joy, this is it. Highly, highly recommended!
Flexible company for booking!

5.00I had a wonderful time working with Polar Folk. Our activity was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions- but the process and communication was great throughout. We chatted with Timea through WhatsApp and actively monitored the weather until we made a final decision to not go. She offered suggestions for other hikes and alternative dates as well! We are bummed we didn’t get to do this hike but would recommend this company to anyone!
Wonderful hike with breathtaking view and local guides

5.00It was a pleasure to meet Timea and Luna! They both guided us on top of mountain with the greatest view! We always felt safe and comfortable and they gave us all the specific equipment we needed (like poles and spikes). Along the way we had great conversations and we learned a lot of things about the area and culture :) So far it was the highlight of our journey! If you want to have some authentic experience with locals and avoid the stress and disadvantages of big companies, Timea, Paul and Luna are the best choice <3
A fantastic experience!

5.00We had the most amazing hike up Kleppstadheia! The weather was absolutely perfect, which made the hike even better and safer. Along the hike we were guided by Timea (and her sweet dog Luna) - she made the tour so much more safe (by providing us with both spikes, snowshoes and stickes) and interesting by adding exiting facts about the nature, the surroundings and herself - thank you so much Timi for a lovely day! It did though take a bit longer than estimated, 5 hours instead of 4, but we also took it in a comfortable pace with a few breaks to enjoy the views, so it was perfect anyway. It is smart to dress in lots of layers, as you will get hot walking uphill, while its often a bit windy and colder on the top. Also remember to bring both snacks and water! So, we would really recommend this guided hike, and would love to do it again some time!
A true Lofoten experience

5.00Paul was an incredible guide and tailored the experience for us as a family with an 8 year old. We took a wonderful snowshoe hike up a ridge which gave us gorgeous views across the fjord. His dog Luna is an absolute joy and we were so happy to have her there to lead the way. Paul set a great pace for our daughter and we learned so much about the local area, the flora & fauna, and life in Lofoten. We stopped and had lunch at the top of the ridge and also got to experience tasty Norwegian Kit Kats! Don't miss out on an adventure with Paul (and Luna)! He'll listen to your group's needs and create a wonderful experience of Lofoten for you.
Amazing views from the mountain peak!

5.00My friends and I were guided by Timi and Luna (her friendly dog) on our hike, and we had an excellent time! We hiked to the peak and were stunned by the amazing views. We felt well equipped thanks to Timi, who had a brought a range of equipment to support us during the hike! Would highly recommend this hike with Timi and would definitely come back for another when I am next back in Lofoten!
Knowledgeable friendly guide with a cute dog and amazing views!

5.00Fabulous morning on the hike, views incredible and the guide Timea was super lovely and knowledgeable. Also Luna the dog was very cute and friendly. With a decent level of fitness and if weather is nice enough, I think go for the uphill hike, takes a little while to get used to the snow shoes but once you do they are very comfortable and you could walk for hours and really take in the sights within the nature hike. Had a brilliant morning and would 100% recommend.
Very kind guides
