Upon your arrival, you'll put on your headlamp and snowshoes and your instructor will give an introduction to snowshoeing and snowshoeing techniques. Once everyone is ready, you'll traverse the silent snow-covered wilderness with your guide leading the way. On a clear night, you may be graced with an awe-inspiring night sky filled with billions of stars and, if luck is on your side, the vibrant colours of the Northern Lights may make an appearance as well. With several stops to take photos and admire the impressive Arctic panorama, you'll have access to a tripod and your guide will also take photos of you and your group, the perfect keepsake!

Midway through the excursion, snowshoeing in Tromsø, you'll stop to enjoy delicious homemade soup, marvelling at the total tranquillity of nature.
