Great experience - We had an amazing time! As first-time skiers, we felt at ease. It was the perfect introduction for beginners. Tony was incredibly friendly and attentive; despite my many falls, he stayed patient and made sure we were well looked after throughout. He also treated us to a delicious hot drink and snack, which was a lovely gesture. We would absolutely recommend this experience. Thanks again, Tony, and best of luck with the fishery!

We had a fantastic time... - We had a fantastic time learning to cross country ski with Nikita and his colleague. I had alpine ski'd before but my wife had never ski'd in her life. This tour is extremely beginner friendly, putting us both at ease. The only potential way it could have been improved is if we got off the beginner run a bit sooner but I understand the team needs to cater for all experience levels. Good luck with the Arsenal game, Nikita 😉

Loved it! We had never... - Loved it! We had never skied before but coming to Tromso having just watched the Winter Olympics inspired us to try this proper Norwegian sport. It was so much fun! We were taught some basic techniques and, after a bit of practice, got to ski around a trail, briefly stopping for a much needed break with a delicious hot drink and snack. The guides were so helpful, encouraging and attentive, ensuring everyone felt safe and had a great experience. We would definitely do it again and would 100% recommend SkiTromso to anyone visiting the city!

The tour... - The tour guides/instructors were very kind, thoughtful and patient. It was our first time cross country skiing and they helped provide and familiarize ourselves with the gear. Since they had 2 guides available during the training, they were able to accommodate different beginner levels as the class continued on. We had a great time!

Great for beginners!😊 - Both guides were great at teaching one how to cross country ski. Patient and watchful, guiding the group through foundational training. Equipment was clean and professional. I would do this again!

Great activity! - Really great activity! They provide everything and were super helpful. By the end we were skiing well and even tried some harder routes. I also attended a session the week before, felt unwell and had to leave. They let me rebook the following week with my partner too for no additional cost (myself, we booked new for my partner) and were very helpful with it. Highly recommend!

Perfect introduction to cross country skiing - Perfect beginners introduction to cross country skiing. We started with basics, the instructor offered useful instructions and was patient with the beginners. There is ample opportunity for more experienced skiers to learn more. Highly recommended.

A must do in Tromso! - I would like to start by saying that we had a great experience. Our instructors were Hans and Filip. It was my first time skiing while my wife had tried it once before. Both the instructors were super patient and supportive. The equipment was top class. The tracks we did were pretty good. Overall we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend to everyone!

Amazing ski experience! - This was our first ski lesson, and my kids really enjoyed it, especially my daughter. At the beginning, they didn’t even know how to put on their ski boots, but by the end of the lesson, both of them were able to ski down the hill, which truly impressed me. The two ski instructors were extremely patient and helpful, although we unfortunately forgot to ask for their names. It was a wonderful experience for our whole family. Highly recommended!

Fun tour - The teachers are great and the material is of great quality. However, for the number of people in the classroom, to keep everyone safe it would be necessary to place more than two instructors.
