Guided cross country ski trip - beginner ski course in Tromsø
If you have never tried skiing, this is your opportunity to learn cross-country skiing in a scenic, relaxed and fun environment! Skiing is Norway's national sport and something everyone should try when visiting Norway.
Departures twice daily at 9:00 (9 am) and 13:30 (1:30 am).
We teach our beginners a cross-country ski course on prepared trails on the top of Tromsøya island. The terrain is beginner-friendly and the perfect place to begin your cross-country skiing journey.
You will learn how to put the skis on and off and basic techniques in a flat area. We introduce you to new skills, help with your skiing technique, and even challenge you to some small hills! Your small group will be skiing in a scenic area surrounded by birch and spruce forests and will take a break for a hot drink and lefse (a local sweet snack).
As the weather can change rapidly in Northern Norway, you must wear warm and windproof clothes to join the tour. Clothing is not included in the price of the trip. Suitable clothing can be rented separately at our rental center with prior arrangements.
From mid-February onward, we recommend bringing sunglasses and sunblock. The sun can be surprisingly intense due to the reflection from the snow.
