    About this experience

    Take a walk on the wild side of Tromsø on this small-group outdoor hiking tour and explore the Arctic nature on foot. You'll be taken to the countryside of Tromsø in the middle of beautiful mountains, fjords and valleys, where you and your group will snowshoe up a small mountain or along a valley with a guide. On the tour we will be using snowshoes, which makes it easier and a lot of fun to walk on the snow. In the autumn months (October and November), you'll get to enjoy the colourful countryside before it is covered with a thick layer of snow. When there is not much snow, the tour is a hiking tour without snowshoes.

    Amazing

    My husband and I were on our honeymoon and I couldn’t be more happy that we chose to do this. It was not only a workout too but the views and guide made it all so incredible. It was personalized to the guide and Ganni couldn’t have chosen a better route and view. Overall would 100% recommend to everyone visiting!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and congratulations on your honeymoon! We’re absolutely delighted that you chose to celebrate such a special occasion with us. It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed both the challenge of the hike and the incredible views. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Norway for another unforgettable adventure.

    Snowshoeing :-)

    We had such an amazing experience, thank you! The snow covered mountains were breathtaking to walk amongst and the sledging was fun! Our guide tailored the route to the groups abilities and we went much further and higher than expected. Lunch and coffee was perfect too whilst enjoying the stunning views. Thank you very much Aneta, Emma.

    Best way to experience the views and stretch your legs.

    Book it. Chances are, if you’re in Tromso, you already like nature - this was such a great way to see the surrounding area, some awesome views and also some of the local wildlife - raindeer, ptarmigans. Would say it’s 100% worth the money - try and get a sunny day if you can (Bring sun cream). Takes 3-4 hours in total.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for your great review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the surrounding nature and spotting local wildlife like reindeer and ptarmigans as those moments really make the experience special. It’s wonderful that the views lived up to your expectations and that you found the tour worthwhile. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future!

    I was warned that snowshoeing can be a real workout and they are not wrong. However, well worth it! The views were stunning and the guide was fantastic.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for your review! You’re absolutely right, snowshoeing can be quite a workout, but we’re so glad to hear you found it well worth the effort. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the stunning views along the way and had a fantastic guide to support you throughout the experience. That combination of challenge and scenery is what makes it so rewarding! Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

    Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup 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 Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 479 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup?

    +

    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 Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup?

    +

    Around 168 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tromso Snowshoeing - Valley, Fjord Views, Wildlife, Meal & Pickup 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 Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. 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.
