Nice snow shoe walk with amazing guide
We had a great tour with Phil with some amazing views over Tromsø. Phil is a very enthusiastic guide with a lot of knowledge about wildlife and the local history. We thoroughly enjoyed our snow shoe hike and the warm drink & lefse. Would totally recommend! ☺️

Excellent value
The guide is friendly, knows the terrain and wildlife, and speaks English as a first language. Also adaptable, making this a good hike for first timers as well as for more adventurous people. I highly recommend this activity.

Winter nature, local experience.
EN- It's an excellent option for a different winter activity in Tromsø. While it does involve some physical effort, it's a great way to escape the crowds of Northern Lights buses and other major attractions. The snowy forest, the views of the fjord, and the city are beautiful. The hikes are tailored to your experience level. When we went, it hadn't snowed in a long time and there was a lot of ice, but Phil still found the best route and options to enjoy "virgin snow" and have the full experience. Highly recommended! ES- Es una excelente opción para una actividad distinta e invernal en Tromso. Si bien implica un esfuerzo fisico, es excelente para tomar distancia de los multitudes de los buses de auroras y atracciones masivas. El bosque nevado, las vistas al fiordo y a la ciudad son hermosas. Las caminatas se adaptan a tu experiencia. Cuando fuimos hacía mucho no nevaba y habia mucho hielo, aun asi Phil buscó el camino y las opciones lara disfrutar de “nieve virgen” y tener la experiencia completa. Totalmente recomendable!
Response from the operator: I'm glad you guys had a great time! Thanks!

Fantastic snowshoe tour!
Phil was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. As first-time snowshoers we took an easier route, and the twilight views around Tromsø were incredible. A great, accessible adventure — highly recommended! We even took the cable car afterward, which was a perfect finish.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here cost?
+
Prices start at $121 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 Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here?
+
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 Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tromsdalen Snowshoe Adventure Starts Here 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.
