Excellent snowshoeing experience. Our guide was enthusiastic and helpful. Beautiful scenery, and not difficult. Recommended for all, even the very young or old.





We run away from the city center to idyllic landscapes of Kvaløya to enjoy: blue hours of polar night, snow, sun or snowstorms and to try snowshoeing the easy way - without climbing high mountains. Before return we visit the local gem hidden on the shore in Ersfjord - Bryggejentene café - to relax over a cup of coffee, tea or chocolate and their famous cakes.

Excellent snowshoeing experience. Our guide was enthusiastic and helpful. Beautiful scenery, and not difficult. Recommended for all, even the very young or old.
We went on a wintery day, (a little warm, above 0 in Tromso), but with the snow in the mountains. Although it was very windy day, we had a wonderful day. Our guide calibrated the snowshoeing to take into account the weather and the fact it was our first time snowshoeing. The views are breathtaking. And the activity was very fun.
Christian from Barcelona was an excellent and very friendly Guide!!! He conveyed a very relaxed atmosphere and was very generous with information. Since plan A didn‘t work because of melted snow, he offered a perfect plan B with stunning views and a fine walk. Thank you Christian for your good humor! We enjoyed the trip with you very much.

...if like me they are skeptical about a winter holiday and are not sure whether to dare, then I recommend Tromsö. Very nice, warm and hospitable people. The gastronomy is on a high level, so you can certainly find the space you like. For me, the desire to see the Northern Lights not only came true, but also increased the desire to travel back to Tromso. If you are here, a visit to the Sami should be on the agenda - impressive. A snowshoe hike might be a challenge for an elderly person, so I can only recommend doing that outdoors with Tromsö. If Christine is still their tour guide, they will be delighted. THANK YOU Christine!!
we go on a hike with snowshoes, it was not that hard with a beautiful view ! Mikkel was a really good guide, fun and with a lot of knowledge. we re really passed a good time, uf we had to do this again, we re doing 100% with Mikkel, thank you for this moment!!
Our first snowshoeing family hike and we could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. Our guide, Mikkel was excellent and made it an enjoyable time. Service-oriented and attentive, he fitted us with perfectly sized snow boots, and the snowshoes and trekking poles were in good condition. Mikkel provided interesting nuggets of information regarding the local landscape, culture, wildlife, avalanches, how to make a snow cave etc. The hike itself was fun, with amazing winter scenery and an ever-changing weather that added to the experience. We savoured the authentic norwegian snacks for hiking - lefse and hot blackcurrant juice - that Mikkel brought along for us to try. A perfect way to end the hike with a delicious hot chocolate/ coffee and yummy sweet pastry at the picturesque Bryggejentene cafe! Thanks a million, Mikkel and Tromso Outdoor team, for the memorable experience!
Many, many thanks to Lukas and his boss for a wonderful experience. It was my first time snow shoeing, but it was much, much more than that. It was a cultural experience, an environmental appreciation and the genuine relaxed conversation with 2 really experienced, highly professional and genuinely personable guys. We went for snowshoeing and came away with so much more!
My friend and I had a wonderful Morning snow shoeing with our awesome and knowledgeable guide Thomas. We had beautiful views up there on the mountain and the top was even better. The cafe at the end was a nice way to unwind and learn more about Tromso. Highly recommend this adventure!
We met Didi (Dietmar) at the Radisson Blue Hotel and drove over to Kvaløya-Iceland in the rain. Luckily the rain let up and we had a nice hike. Running with the snowshoes was much easier than I thought! We enjoyed some wonderful views before descending the mountain again and to the Bryggejentene cafe, which is very quaint. The carrot cake and hot chocolate did very well after the hike.
Our guide Tomas was lovely and very knowledgeable. The walk was enough to feel you had accomplished something and done good exercise without exhausting you for the rest of the day! Amazing views, and we even saw some reindeer. Would highly, highly recommend.
