Cross-Country Skiing Experience in Tromsø

Learn the essentials of Norway's national sport and discover breathtaking snow-covered landscapes on this wonderful cross-country skiing excursion in Tromsø! Located 350 kilometres from the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is Northern Norway's largest city and a veritable hub for winter outdoor experiences. With snowy winters, Northern Lights sightings, a vibrant city that welcomes tourists, and incredible, untouched Arctic landscapes, Tromsø is the perfect place to learn a sport such as cross-country skiing.

On the day of your cross-country skiing experience from Tromsø, you'll need to meet your expert Tromsø Adventures instructor at the parking area of the Charottenlund Aktivitetspark, at least 15 minutes before the start of the experience. To arrive there, you can bring your own car and use the free parking, or you can take bus 26 to “Skogly”, then walk approximately 3 minutes to the meeting point. There, you will receive a short introduction to the experience and the skis, boots, and poles you'll be using, which will be chosen thinking of your safety and dimensions.

Once you have everything, it's time to start! You'll take a short walk to warm you up toward the starting point of the experience. You'll gear up, and your instructor will explain the safety measures you'll need to follow in order to have a good time. After an explanation on how to move safely on the skis, how to keep your balance as you glide, and what postures are best to optimise your movements, you'll set off. You'll warm up with a gentle ski excursion toward the main trail, Prestvannet, and your instructor will give you clear guidance to improve your steps.

Midway through this wonderful 2-hour cross-country skiing experience in Tromsø, you'll take a break with a hot drink and snack to regain your strength, and you can take beautiful pictures in the remote landscapes of Northern Norway. On the return journey, if you feel comfortable, you'll be able to face some more challenging terrain, like slightly steeper sections or an extra loop. You'll finish the experience at the same spot where you started it, but with a better understanding of Norway's national sport! Don't forget to come prepared with high-quality winter gear to keep you warm at all times.

Don't miss out on the wonderful opportunity to travel through the stunning Arctic landscapes of Northern Norway, with an expert by your side and a sport that has enchanted Norwegians and is now part of their national identity. Book your cross-country skiing experience in Tromsø today!
