Great fun, no experience required. A great way to spend an afternoon. - Very well organised, and great fun! Suitable for complete beginners. Went as a family (2 old teens) Short walk to the rental shop where you get kitted out with boots and then a taxi ride to the local floodlit course where you get some skis and poles. Our guide Martin thoroughly explained everything and then we went through the basics before going on a reasonably long (~4km) trek. We got over 2 hrs on the actual skis, and it felt like plenty of time by the end!

A unique skiing experience in Arctic - A beautiful setup in the Arctic region, the course is setup for the beginners with well laid skiing tracks. And also have some small slopes in between once you get used to it. Guide was amazing, you get to learn a lot about Tromso. All gears are provided and also some refreshments.

A great beginner-friendly experience - Julie had a delicate and patient approach to me as an absolute and nervous beginner. I was literally shaking before starting but, by the end of the route, I was able to slide downhill and even enjoy some adrenaline rush from it! It was snowing and everything around was quiet and peaceful, which made the experience even more evocative. We eventually were rewarded with a few slices of cake and coffee in the Café. They offer vegetarian and gluten free options, just ask upon booking. We also had an informal Q&A session with Julie about dog sledding and the like. Highly recommended.
