From Tromsø: Intro to Cross-Country Skiing Early Morning Tour

The tour departs from the city center of Tromsø from where you will head off on a scenic 50-minute bus drive to our camp in Breivikeidet. 

Upon arrival at the camp, you will be welcomed by your tour guide and provided with thermal suits, boots, hat, mittens and all necessary gear (skis and poles). 

Before heading out on the tour, we will teach you some basic skills: how to move, how to put your skis on, how to fall and get back on your skis. With all techniques under the belt, you will head out for the hike through the beautiful Arctic scenery together with your guide. Marvel at the mountains of the Lyngen Alps and the sea, and actively make your way through the snowy trails! 

After the tour, you are invited into our lavvu (indigenous Sami tent) where you can warm up by the campfire with some hot drinks and cake. 

In addition, our basecamp is also the starting point for our husky sledding tours, so there are about 80 huskies on the location ready to meet people and be cuddled with.

After you have had some time to relax and warm up, you will be driven back to the city with great memories of your cross-country adventure.
