    Amazing trip and guides

    What an amazing day out with Marie’s and Andreas! Together they achieved the perfect balance of sharing interesting information and enabling the group to enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed many laughs together as we attempted to navigate the very deep snow. Lovely snacks and hot chocolate and they even arranged brilliant weather for it too. :-) I’d suggest you need a basic level of fitness for this trip as a minimum. Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad you had such a great day with Marie and Andreas. They love sharing stories, creating a fun atmosphere, and making sure everyone can enjoy the scenery along the way. We truly appreciate the recommendation!

    Breathtaking NORWAY - Awesome shoeshine hike with the Norway mountain guides!

    This is a must book trip from the moment were picked up in Bergen till the drop off we were looked after. Weather was fantastic and the guides Tor, Jannis and Norman were awesome. Great chat, Great Snack and full of fantastic stories. We lucked out with the snow and we were part of a fun group. Snow was so fresh and crisp and the views were spectacular.... could have spent days up in the mountains. Living in Scotland we have similar scenery however the snow just tops it off! Thanks to the Norway Mountain Guides !!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you felt well looked after from pickup to drop off. Fresh, crisp snow and spectacular mountain views really do make it special, and it sounds like you had perfect conditions. Coming from Scotland, that’s high praise indeed! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad you were part of such a fun group.

    Incredible experience

    A truly magical snowshoeing adventure in Bergen! Walking through pristine snow with jaw-dropping views all around felt like stepping into a winter wonderland. Our guides were fantastic, and pausing for a cozy snack at the summit made it even more special. An unforgettable way to experience Bergen in winter!

    Response from the operator: We’re delighted to hear your snowshoe adventure felt truly magical. There’s something special about walking through fresh snow with panoramic winter views, and we’re so glad our guides helped make it even more memorable with a cozy summit break. It means a lot to hear it was an unforgettable way to experience Bergen in winter. Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Stunning snow activity

    The snow shoe hike was a fantastic activity in winter wonderland. Our son (11yrs) had a blast too. We had great conditions and our passionate guides (Ole and David) lead us to the most scenic viewpoints, where they shared local meat delicacies and hot chocolate after preparing first row snow seats to enjoy the stunning view. Our guides are clearly clued up on mountain safety and it is inspiring to see their connection to nature and their joy guiding. It was also fun to be in the car with David, we had great chats and we learned a lot about Bergen and its surroundings. Could not have been better!

    Response from the operator: It's so nice to hear the snowshoe hike felt like a true winter wonderland experience, and that your son had such a great time too. Ole and David love creating those special mountain moments, from finding the most scenic viewpoints to sharing local treats and hot chocolate in the snow. Safety, nature connection, and genuine joy in guiding are at the heart of what we do, so it means a lot that you noticed.

    Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.

    How much does Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $252 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Bergen is not rushed.

    Is Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour?

    +

    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 Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour?

    +

    Around 22 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 Bergen 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 Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snowshoe hiking in Bergen - Public tour 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 Bergen 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 Bergen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. 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 Bergen?

    +

    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 Bergen?

    +

    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.
