What You Will Do
A wonderful way to explore the Arctic landscape of Northern Norway!
Snowshoeing is a great means to immerse yourself in our wild nature and to traverse even the snowiest areas.
The scenic drive along the fjord makes a perfect beginning of the tour. At the destination our guide leads you to one of the summits on Kvaløya island. Relish the feeling of crunching over, rather than sinking into, the pristine snow. Great views over majestic mountains and fjords are the reward for the effort - we hike around 400 meters elevation to reach the top. Therefore the trip requires you to be used to physical activity, but previous snowshoeing experience is not required.
Wearing proper winter boots and warm clothes is a must on this tour.
We take good time for breaks to take photos, learn about the local nature and culture, and savor a hot drink and snack on route.
