This is a must book trip from the moment were picked up in Bergen till the drop off we were looked after. Weather was fantastic and the guides Tor, Jannis and Norman were awesome. Great chat, Great Snack and full of fantastic stories. We lucked out with the snow and we were part of a fun group. Snow was so fresh and crisp and the views were spectacular.... could have spent days up in the mountains. Living in Scotland we have similar scenery however the snow just tops it off! Thanks to the Norway Mountain Guides !!

What an amazing day out with Marie’s and Andreas! Together they achieved the perfect balance of sharing interesting information and enabling the group to enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed many laughs together as we attempted to navigate the very deep snow.
Lovely snacks and hot chocolate and they even arranged brilliant weather for it too. :-)
I’d suggest you need a basic level of fitness for this trip as a minimum.
Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you felt well looked after from pickup to drop off. Fresh, crisp snow and spectacular mountain views really do make it special, and it sounds like you had perfect conditions.
Coming from Scotland, that’s high praise indeed! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad you were part of such a fun group.
It was my first time snowshoeing and it was amazing! The tour guide we got are super interesting people, and though I lost my phone during one of the jumps, they were able to find it for me! We had a lot of fun!

Thanks, lol -a phone in the deep snow are not easy to find, so happy that all sorted out well, hope to see you again!
Had an amazing time! This absolutely was one of the highlights from my trip to Bergen! All the guides were super knowledgeable and showed us great views of the mountain! I will definitely book again with the same company coming back to Bergen!
We had a wonderful and memorable first time snowshoe experience with our guide Østen, he is a very experienced hiker and gave us tips along the way to make the hike easier. The weather started snowy but once we were 10 min into hiking it stopped and the sun came out, we even got to see the fjord on top of the summit. Østen also lets us hike at our own pace and made sure to stop and check in every now and then to see if everyone is feeling comfortable. The hike ended back in a cabin nearby and he offered hot coffee and hot chocolate with some local snacks. We also loved the fact that it was a private group with just the four of us and we got to have great conversations with our guide. We weren’t sure about the weather on the day before the hike and after sending a message on Viator we got a quick response to confirm. Overall I would highly recommend this tour!
Went Snowshoeing yesterday and honestly it was one of the best things ive ever done, being the views and how nice our instructor Øysten was.
Would definitely recommend!!
Truly incredible experience. The guides were knowledgeable of the mountain terrain and customised the tour to suit the physical abilities of the group. Being a younger group, we had the opportunity to go further, and hike to a fantastic summit. Hot chocolate and some local delicacies were a great touch. The highlight of my time in Bergen. 100% recommend.
This trip was cancelled 90 minutes before departure which made it impossible to rearrange something else. I found it difficult to understand that a company that allegedly rates itself number 1 on trip advisor could not find a replacement guide. This was my first experience of travelling to Norway and I am unsure if I will get the opportunity to return. Very disappointing indeed!!

Dear Stephanie.
We understand that you are disappointed. Unfortunately, this was not possible to solve. I was to guide this tour and could not be among the guests with vomiting sickness. I called all possible guides, also in other companies, to get a spare guide for you. Unfortunately, that was not possible. Planning your holiday and spending time to attend a trip that does not take place is very regrettable. We can only apologize and say that this is very rare. You question our rating, I can understand that as you did not get to experience our service. Hope you still had a nice stay in Bergen and Norway.
Best regards Frank .
Frank was an excellent guide. He took us to a secluded spot north of Bergen with fantastic views. His knowledge of the area was excellent and he was able to adapt the walking pace to the group. Would highly recommend anyone to go on this tour.

Very pleasant that they choose to share this, it means a lot to us, we want to continue to deliver outdoor experiences for tourists who come to Bergen. Have really good summer
I loved this tour. They picked us up promptly from the city center. Took us through the mountains. Because the weather was great and it was easier than usual, Tobias took is to new peaks so we could get a lot of views. He also came with hot coco and waffles with brown cheese for us, which was the perfect Norwegian experience. I highly recommend this!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Kirby, l will tell Tobias this, great that you enjoyed the time in the mountains with him, he is doing a great job for us. We cant promise Waffles on every tour, but great view!
Our guide Frank Barmen made sure we got a 5 star experience on our snow shoe hike. He chose a beautiful spot, and adapted the intensity of the hike to the physical fitness of his guests. Extraordinary views, interesting stories told by Frank and excellent service. Do not go to Bergen and miss this tour... Must do!

thank you! Incredibly nice to hear. Very nice to get to know you, if everyone from Belgium is as cheerful and happy as you, I will lead you to get more customers from Belgium.
Vraiment super ! La randonnée était très agréable, grâce à un guide à l’écoute qui partage avec joie sa connaissance du lieu. Une jolie vue vous attend au sommet ! Je recommande et espère avoir l’occasion de participer à d’autres sorties avec ce prestataire !

Unfortunately, we don't understand much French, but are going to start learning :) Look at the "star" that you were satisfied, thank you very much!
