Tromsø: Arctic Snowshoeing Experience
Overview

Mobile ticket
Our journey starts from the city centre of Tromsø. We will soon cross the bridge to Kvaløya (the Whale Island), which is the 5th largest island off the coast of Norway. Magical Kvaløya can best be described as a miniature version of the North of Norway with its steep and scenic mountains, white sandy beaches, stunning fjords and crystal-clear blue water.
At the start of our snowshoe hike, we will move gently uphill and immediately enter a Winter Wonderland full of crooked birch trees resembling a mythical Norwegian troll forest. We will also find spruce and pine trees in this area. Keep an eye out for moose, reindeer, fox, hare and other wildlife. And don’t forget to look up towards the sky as you might catch the sight of white-tailed eagles.
As we continue hiking uphill, the panoramic views will gradually get more and more impressive. There are several good locations where we can stop for photos.

Magina experience in the woods of Tromso

5.00Very nice hike with a Norwegian guide prepared and attentive to everything (safety, walking speed and proper use of snowshoes). Snowshoeing is easy and also suitable for those who have never used snowshoes before. Our guide, in addition to guiding us along the trails coordinating the group, also provided explanations and curiosities about Tromso and Norway (explanation in English). The meeting point in the center of Tromso is easy to reach. I recommend this experience!

5.00Our guide („Goodman") was very experienced, and a great storyteller. The route was perfect, we learnt a lot and the quiz was especially fun!
The guide is worth the ticket price

5.00Experience highly recommended. The proposed activity reflected expectations. Snowshoeing in nature for everyone. The pride of the experience was the Gud guide, who immediately created a serene and welcoming atmosphere within the group. Next he delighted us with a meal of typical Norwegian products and hot drinks.
