5.00We had a great time cross-country skiing! The instructors were highly experienced, friendly, attentive, and well organized. Norway’s national sport can be physically challenging, but if that’s your thing you won’t be disappointed. A good sense of balance is helpful. The park is beautiful, the equipment is in great shape, and you just can’t beat skiing when it comes to having a truly authentic Norwegian experience.
Cross-country skiing adventure in great surroundings - basic fitness required

5.00Nice cross-country skiing fun with real (ex) professionals and in great surroundings, not somewhere where only tourists are, but with the local population in the park. Ne certain basic sportiness should be given, as the two start quite quickly and there is hardly any warm-up or long theory.

5.00Having never done one of these cross country ski sessions before, I was a bit apprehensive, but within the first couple of minutes I was up and running. The instructors, Elliot and Sissel, were brilliant. They were very helpful, friendly, and encouraging. They were also very patient with everyone, making sure that we were all having a good time. The weather was brilliant, even had some amazing sun when we were at the frozen lake... We did spend a lot of time on our butts, but the easy training helped make sure we were up and about quick. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience with my family...

5.00Elias was a fantastic teacher and guide. Having not done this before he taught us the basic techniques first. Both guides were motivating and helpful. We then skied to a frozen lake. We both absolutely loved this activity. The course in Tromsø was amazing. So great to do something that is such a way of life for Norwegians. Would definitely do it again.
Fun and pretty
