★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 555 reviews · from $175Our pick

Travel from Tromsø to Tromsø Villmarkssenter on Kvaløya for a five-hour husky adventure. Your English-speaking guides fit you with snowshoes, lead an easy-to-moderate hike with one or two working dogs, then introduce you to the camp’s 200 huskies and puppies over hot drinks and homemade cake.

“The guides were friendly and took the time to chat about the camp and ask where you were from. The hike was beautiful as it was snowing, the boots and snow suits keep you very warm and comfortable in the cold. The huskies were all friendly and enjoyed the attention. It was a very enjoyable experience and would consider doing it again.”

Leave Tromsø by minibus for a five-hour snowshoe hike on Kvaløya. Your guide teaches snowshoe technique, leads you toward a roughly 400-meter summit, and serves hot drinks with lefse. Expect fjord views, a maximum of eight people, provided gear, and a workout that can feel hard in deep snow.

“This was one of the hardest hikes I have ever done...I had a great time, even during my lack of ability to breathe and wanting to give up. The view at the top is worth it. But what I would say is missing from the details the company provided is the following - its about a 5 mile hike up and back. Yes you are walking up in snowshoes in deep snow (depending the time of the year, I went in Feb) it is a 1600ft elevation gain. I am in relatively decent shape good shape, I work out 3-4x a week. I hike often (not in the snow) but…”

Travel from central Oslo to Frognerseteren by scenic metro, then learn snowshoeing on forest trails with guides such as Miles, Lin, or Patricia. Snowshoes, poles, and transport are included. The route suits beginners, though warm weather may turn it into a hike.

“Patricia was our guide; instructions were clear where to meet; the ride on the Metro to the snowshoeing trail was comfortable and convenient and it was a small tour of eight people. Patricia was knowledgeable about the area and would share information with the group along the trail. She also was well prepared and had a variety of hot teas to enjoy when we were finishing up our hike. The hike itself was enjoyable- wish it was a bit longer as there was such a calm and peaceful feeling being in the forest. Would highly recommend!”

Before heading back. The walk was easy and suitable for all abilities with as much time for taking photos as you wished. We then spent time meeting the sleigh dogs which was a real highlight and makes this experience extra special if you are an animal lover. Before sitting around the fire for some more refreshments and meeting one of the puppies up close. Loti is a great host, very warm and welcoming, who kept the conversation…”
