Join a carefree snowshoe walk while learning about the surrounding nature, traditional folklore, the local area and everyday life in Tromsø.
The tour starts with a short bus ride through a winter landscape of birch and spruce forests to the top of Tromsøya island. Equipped with modern snowshoes, you easily walk on the snow, breathing in the crisp air and experiencing Norway´s frozen winter landscape like a local. Your guide will lead your through the forest and into a clearing, where you will have a bonfire and can warm yourself by the blaze. Around the bonfire, your guide will share knowledge about the surrounding nature, interesting insights about traditional folklore as well as the local area. After that, you can hop aboard a toboggan and speed down a snowy hill before returning to the clearing, re-stoke the bonfire, warm yourself and savour hot drinks and a sweet snack. This excursion is a great choice for families with children.
