Snowshoeing in the mountains near the Lyngen Alps

The tour begins with a scenic drive of approximately 60 minutes from Tromsø. Along the way, you will travel through a winter landscape of mountains and valleys before arriving in the Lyngen area.

On arrival, you will be provided with snowshoes and walking poles, and your guide will show you how to use the equipment. Snowshoeing is easy to learn, and no previous experience is required.

You will then walk through the snow-covered landscape and into the mountains near the Lyngen Alps. If the weather allows, you can enjoy views of the surrounding fjords and mountains. There will be several stops along the way for photos.
