A beautiful morning activity. It was lightly snowing. Close to the city. All equipment was provided. Our guide, Alex, was informative and set a good pace for us. He challenged the youngers with different a few different routes that met up with the other group. A fun time to enjoy the beauty of Tromso!
Fun activity in beautiful surroundings. Good guide who shares interesting facts about the area. A must-add to your itinerary.
Excellent guide. Good fun. Felt well supported. Not too long but still saw some beautiful scenery and snow.
Great trip - even the sun shone. Picked up on time, explanation given. Short drive then on with snow shoes. Walk was fun, informative and a real learning experience. Our Swiss ex-police guide! knew her stuff, she made sure everyone was safe and in contact, especially as falling was quite a common occurrence. The hot drink and especially the snack were really good. During our time in Tromso we did a variety of trips - this was equal top.
This was a tremendous experience! Snow shoe walking with the delightful and attentive Mel. Possibly about 20 of us, all trudging single file through stunning terrain. It was cold and beautiful. Mel gave superb information along the way and she was clearly passionate about Norway. we all felt incredibly safe with her, particularly as she was a sport physio, too. Most of us took a tumble at some point but the beautifully soft snow was our gentle cushion to fall on. A highly recommended tour.
A great time! Our guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. Easy enough for my 9 year old to keep up and lots of stops for info and photos!
Walking in the snow with snowshoes in the woods of Charlottenlund, it was the first time and a very nice and recommendable activity.
Well organised and well executed tour. Many thanks to Felix for guiding us and answering all our questions. Very enjoyable stroll through the Tromso park land. Good to see so many others also enjoying the great outdoors.
Lovely walk, taking into account different paces, stopping occasionally for pictures, and nice break in between. Good guide who also knew what to tell about the area. Also because it was the first clear day after a big storm and a lot of snow, we really enjoyed it!
Fun experience with kids even though there wasn’t much snow. Marta was a great and helpful guide and provided educational information.
