Top Tromso Active & Outdoor Classes

Trek through the Arctic without the fear of getting lost on a small-group snow-shoeing tour. Admire vast fjords and towering mountains as you set out from Tromsø, first by vehicle and then on foot. Keep an eye out for native wildlife and enjoy lunch on a local summit, marveling at the exquisite 360-degree views.

Norwegians have been ice fishing in their crystalline fjords for millennia, and with this experience, but even if you're brand new to the practice, you can try your hand at landing a prize catch in the frozen waters of the Ullsfjord just like a local. Cast your line and then head to basecamp with what you’ve caught to learn how to clean and cook it, Norwegian style. Hear about local traditions and enjoy views of the Lyngen Alps before heading back to Tromsø.

Learn something new—and explore the Arctic landscape in a more active way than other tours—at this small-group cross-country ski lesson in Tromsø, designed for beginners. Follow a program developed by Olympic champion Erik Valnes, with exercises to help with balance. Glide into the landscape at a relaxed pace, pause to capture photos and hear stories, and warm up with a hot drink and snack included.
