    A snowshoe walk in the wilderness

    Fabulous few hours spent in nature so close to a city yet so much like wilderness. Great guide who looked after us perfectly. Highly recommend this adventure

    Only Snowshoe? I don't think so...

    Wonderful snowshoe trip led by Lukas thru' the forest to some amazing clear views of the city at night. Finished up by a warm fire w/ some delicious warm beverage and local snack. Added treat of trying some downhill plastic sledding finished this recommended activity. Thank you Lukas and Tromso Outdoor!

    Excellent value for money

    The Radisson is a meeting place for lots of tours and is easy to find. There were four of us on our tour plus the guide. It can be very strenuous and the guide can adjust the route based on your fitness level. We saved $90 compared to a similar trip offered through our cruise line. This is not for young kids under 12 or anyone that might struggle with hiking 2 miles in the snow. With that being said we had an amazing time. The city park is at the top of the island so you can see both the airport side and dock sides of the main island. Amazing views at night. First timers or experience snow shoers will enjoy this. By the end of the tour we were lucky enough to see the northern lights at the end of the hike and also slid down the toboggan hill. The fire, snack and warm fruit drink were great. Our guide, Matthias was great. Snow shoes are provided but bring snow boots and lots of layers.

    Wonderful experience

    This was very enjoyable. After a short drive in a van we got to what looked like a big city park. We had rented the boots they offered because we wanted to make sure our feet were warm enough and they were. We snow shoed through the woods at night. Our guide gave us headlamps to see and it was just wonderful. Not too strenous but still a little hilly. We stopped a few times to look at the city lights across the bay and to watch the northern lights. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history. Then we did some sledding down a slope and then sat by the campfire for warm drink and snacks. We're so glad we went. It was a lot of fun

    Response from the operator: Hello 24travel2014, thank you for this positive words about our Evening snowshoe trip with a campfire. I hope that if you come back to Tromsø one day we could bring you for ski session. Best regards, Kasia Pacek

    This was an amazingly fun experience...

    <p>This was an amazingly fun experience with a fantastic guide. It was fun! fun! fun! The snowshoeing was loads of fun and incredibly easy to pick up so great for most people. The toboganning was like being transformed back to your child hood days. It was really fun, exhilarating and pretty safe despite your knees knocking at the end. The trip flowed really well with no time to get bored and the bonfire if you got time for it was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this trip for families and people of all ages. Snowshoeing in the park was also a very beautiful experience</p>

    Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso cost?

    +

    Prices start at $144 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 Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso?

    +

    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 trip with a campfire in Tromso suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso?

    +

    Around 4 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snowshoe trip with a campfire in Tromso 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.

    +
