Learn the basics of cross‑country skiing in a scenic arctic setting, starting early in Tromsø. After instruction, embark on a guided ski through snowy landscapes, then warm up by the fire with hot drinks and cake, and meet huskies at our basecamp before returning to town.
Your day begins in Tromsø city center, from where a comfortable bus ride (~ 50 minutes) brings you to our basecamp in Breivikeidet. On arrival, your guide will provide all necessary gear — skis, poles, boots — as well as thermal suits, mittens, hats and winter boots to keep you warm.
We start with an introduction to the fundamentals: how to walk in skis, how to put them on, how to fall safely and get up again. Once you feel confident, your guide will lead you along snowy trails through Arctic scenery, passing views of the Lyngen Alps and the coast.
Afterward, step into a lavvu (Sami tent) to warm up by the fire with hot beverages and cake. You’ll also have the chance to visit our dog yard, meet ~80 huskies and perhaps pet them. Finally, you’ll be driven back to Tromsø with new skills and great memories.
- Learn basic cross‑country skiing techniques in a calm, guided setting
- Ski through scenic Arctic landscapes with coastal and mountain views
- Warm up in a lavvu by the fire and visit a husky yard
