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.

What to expect
Once in Norway you cannot leave without trying our national sport.
Now is your opportunity to learn to cross country ski in a scenic environment and relaxed atmosphere.
Our ski guide will teach you how to use the ski bindings to put the ski on and take them off, how to fall 'the right way' to avoid injuries, and how to get up on your own. You will then practice how to walk and run with skis.
After gaining some practice you will get the chance to challenge yourself on some small hills, learning the techniques of walking up and sliding down.
After the tour many of our guests rent skis to continue practicing cross country skiing on their own.
Great fun at all times!
