About this tour, from the operator

Once in Norway you cannot leave without trying our national sport!

This trip is a skiing course, conducted in a scenic surrounding and relaxed atmosphere for the ones who have never tried cross country skiing before or still lack basic techniques.

We ski in flat terrain, mostly on prepared trails on the top of Tromsøya island, only 5 minutes drive from the city center. 

At first we teach basic techniques and begin to ski in a flat area.

By the end of the tour you can challenge yourself on small hills and you should be able to practice your new skills on your own later on.
