Winter holidays with the family

Bring the family on a winter holiday to Tromsø and combine city life with great outdoor experiences.

Stay at a hotel in the city and visit our experience centres and museums. At Polaria, you can become a seal expert, meet the huskies at Tromsø Villmarkssenter or try science experiments at the Science Centre of Northern Norway. Splash around and play in the water at Tromsøbadet. At the Arctic University Museum of Norway, the Polar Museum and Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum, you can learn more about the history and culture of Northern Norway!

Wrap up warm and head to Tromsømarka, Kvaløya or Tromsø Alpinpark for skiing, sledging, snowboarding and fun. Remember to bring hot chocolate and perhaps some freshly baked buns from one of the city’s cafés! If you enjoy being outdoors, we can recommend dog sledding, reindeer sledding, fishing trips and more. There are plenty of experiences for the whole family and lots of new memories to make.

If you would like to explore more of the region, there are several exciting places to stay with outdoor activities nearby or on site. Maybe the little ones will learn to ski at Målselv Fjellandsby, or the family can try ice fishing at Lauklines Kystferie.

Welcome to Tromsø for your winter holiday!
