A throughly enjoyable hike through beautiful countryside
I took this adventure with guide Gudmund in early April 2026, and it was apparently the last hike of the season. I have reached an age where I no longer count my pennies, so I don't recall the fee - but as I often say, no one travels to save money! I found it to be a very relaxed, laid back and enjoyable hike. I think we probably walked a maximum of 5-6 km, with plenty of rest breaks, short and really interesting narrations of local history, a quiz here and there, as well as some of the most beautiful natural scenery you'll ever experience. There are several reasons I enjoyed this adventure. Firstly, we didn't drive for more than about 40-50 minutes. Less time driving meant more time walking. Secondly, we took a detour off the main track and thus avoided encountering too many others. Thirdly, it was a small group - there were four adventurers and guide Gudmund. Fourthly, Gudmund was [as I mistakenly understood his name when he said it] a "Good Man" - friendly, informative, and helpful. It pays to be reasonably fit to take this adventure. None of us adventurers were athletes and only one of us was under thirty years old, but we kept a good pace. Recommend you bring waterproof pants, good quality waterproof boots, snow goggles/ sunglasses as well as sun block. Even if you've never used snowshoes, like me, once you're fitted [Gudmund turned us all into experts at this], it takes about five minutes to get used to walking in them. Apparently, I was the first adventurer to take this walk wearing a T-shirt! I will be back for more adventures, and I will recommend this to my friends.
Response from the operator: Dear Ranjit. Thank you so much for the amazing review. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the 'Best Kept Secret Snowshoeing Experience' and our last hike this winter season. ❤️ Sending you a big hello from our guide! 😊 We are hoping to see you soon back here in Tromsø. 🥰 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps cost?
+
Prices start at $197 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps?
+
Included: Private transportation; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Fjords and Alps Snowshoe Tour in Lyngen Alps?
+

+
