We had such a great experience and I highly recommend this activity. Marie was a great guide!! She broke up the time by teaching us different techniques and taking us through different scenery, first on the trail, then onto the frozen lake, then through the forest. This was a small group, only 8 people, which was perfect. Great introduction to cross-country skiing!!

A challenge

I was useless, but if I hadn't tried, I wouldn't have known! The other two people in my group were much more successful! Give it a go, just to say you have tried it! Magnificent scenery and lovely guide.
Excellent in all ways.

Great instructor - jolly and full of life. Super activity - can go at any pace and is fun for all. Views and area as a whole is beautiful
Great trip and learnt a lot quickly
Carolyn_M, Mar 2024
This was a really fun afternoon. Our teacher was great and very friendly and helpful. I learned to do a lot in just a couple of hours and was then comfortable doing some nordic skiing around the cross country slopes. I loved it and wish I could do it in the UK!
Easy cross country skiing lesson!
Andrea_G, Mar 2024
It was such a fun experience. Never been cross country skiing before - it was very easy and def for beginners. Tomi was great. Wish we could have stayed even longer in tromso so I could have rented gear and gone out for longer at the park he took us to.

It’s a good experience for beginners. The instructor made sure that we were comfortable and confident to participate. As a beginner do keep in mind that you will fall many times and can get hurt too.
Beginner-friendly fun experience

A superb experience. Marcus was wonderful. The equipment provided was everything we needed. It snowed :)
So fun!
Emily_T, Feb 2024
Marie was a fantastic instructor. She explained everything so well that it only took a little instruction before we were able to enjoy ourselves! I think I’ve found a new sport
Great experience!
Jonas_B, Feb 2024
We really liked the experience. The organizers were punctual and handed out equipment that they promised. The tour guide was giving good instructions and we got really hooked on cross-country skiing. Always again!
The highlight of my Tromso trip
Peter_S, Jan 2024
Had a fantastic time. Our guide was very good, kind and patient. She explained all basics of cross country skiing, took us to a great spot, and eventually let me roam free for nearly an hour. She was very patient with the group members who needed more help. I fell in love with the sport, and would recommend everyone to try this.
Fun experience with great guide
Alexander_R, Jan 2024
I can fully recommend this tour. Our guide was very patient and friendly. She explained everything in detail, made sure we did it correctly and gave us enough time to get comfortable with the different techniques. We had a great time.
Great for Beginners
Rebeca_R, Jan 2024

Great Cross country ski trip for beginners

Great instructor. Quick walk from hotel to Tromso outdoors. Short drive to Charlottelund. Got to change boots (and leave stuff) at the shop. Good instruction. Easy skiing. Only wish longer, was able to go further.
