Once in Norway you cannot leave without trying our national sport! This trip is a skiing course, conducted in a scenic surrounding and relaxed atmosphere for the ones who have never tried cross country skiing before or still lack basic techniques. We ski in flat terrain, mostly on prepared trails on the top of Tromsøya island, only 5 minutes drive from the city center. At first we teach basic techniques and begin to ski in a flat area. By the end of the tour you can challenge yourself on small hills and you should be able to practice your new skills on your own later on.

Great guide. Offered individual tips to each of us based on what he saw us doing. Had so much fun and was a beautiful park with groomed trails. Loved the workout aspect, had always wanted to try it. Once I found my rhythm felt very meditative and relaxing.
Our guide Michael is very professional. He is also attentive to everyone in the tour. Great views and great experience.
This is a great trip for anyone who has not cross country skied before or like me have cross country skied before but it’s been a very long time. We had a great instructor and it was fun to get skis on again.
Mathieu was really friendly and helpful. 5 stars for him! Meeting point is close to popular hotels so easy to locate.
Great experience, great guides. Dress with light gear because you will get hot. The outfitters provided nice equipment and very patient with everyone
The cross-country skiing course was wonderful and so much fun! Our guide was Felix. After a short 10-minute drive to the city park, we started right away with our first attempts on the skis, along with clear explanations, helpful tips, and techniques from Felix. Halfway through the session, we enjoyed a warm drink and some cookies. A very welcome break. One of the absolute highlights was cross-country skiing across a frozen lake. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the experience.
I had an absolutely wonderful time with this ski lesson! I have never even touched a ski before and felt confident by the end of the class. The atmosphere was lighthearted and supportive, so many of us found it funny rather than frustrating when we fell (several times for me!). My instructor (I unfortunately do not recall her name) was warm, patient, and funny and paced the lesson perfectly for first-timers. The hot black currant juice provided during the outing was also fantastic! I had a great time and am now looking forward to the next time I try to cross country ski.
A fun experience as a beginner The instructor Thomas was very good and gave clear instructions. Definitely recommended
We had a great introduction session with Mathieu. He was easy to chat to and gave us just enough information, as well as freedom to progress, as we were able to. The blackcurrant tea and tasty snacks were an added bonus!
We were booked on this experience (a chance to try something new) via our cruise ship, we were looking forward to the experience, these guys did not disappoint, the staff were vey patient and professional with the teachings, we had so much fun. definitely could do it again with this team.
