Fun in the snow!! - My nine y.o daughter and I did this in late November and absolutely loved it. The instructor, Mariel, was fantastic and really kept an eye out for my daughter, offering encouragement and tips for improvement. The booking process with Sissel was reallly easy and we found the meet-up point with no problem at all. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Tromso. It was a great deal of fun and you get to see parts of the city and local life that you might otherwise miss. Thank you Tromso Adventures!

Never skied, and loved it - I was the only one booked for the sledging, so I did the beginner’s cross-country skiing with Elias instead and it was so much fun! Even falling over was part of the fun. The scenery was beautiful, and I’d definitely recommend it.

Wow I loved cross country... - Wow I loved cross country skiing! It was my first time and we got some lessons from our guides and then got to go around the park and onto the lake. Amazing time.

We had a great time... - We had a great time cross-country skiing! The instructors were highly experienced, friendly, attentive, and well organized. Norway’s national sport can be physically challenging, but if that’s your thing you won’t be disappointed. A good sense of balance is helpful. The park is beautiful, the equipment is in great shape, and you just can’t beat skiing when it comes to having a truly authentic Norwegian experience.

Cross-country skiing adventure in great surroundings - basic fitness required - Nice cross-country skiing fun with real (ex) professionals and in great surroundings, not somewhere where only tourists are, but with the local population in the park. Ne certain basic sportiness should be given, as the two start quite quickly and there is hardly any warm-up or long theory.

Cross country skiing - Having never done one of these cross country ski sessions before, I was a bit apprehensive, but within the first couple of minutes I was up and running. The instructors, Elliot and Sissel, were brilliant. They were very helpful, friendly, and encouraging. They were also very patient with everyone, making sure that we were all having a good time. The weather was brilliant, even had some amazing sun when we were at the frozen lake... We did spend a lot of time on our butts, but the easy training helped make sure we were up and about quick. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience with my family...

Fantastic - Elias was a fantastic teacher and guide. Having not done this before he taught us the basic techniques first. Both guides were motivating and helpful. We then skied to a frozen lake. We both absolutely loved this activity. The course in Tromsø was amazing. So great to do something that is such a way of life for Norwegians. Would definitely do it again.

Good ski school! - I booked this because it would be sunny and nice. It was a little difficult to find the meeting place, but thanks to the coordinates it went well. It was about half an hour walk, but there is also bus. The leaders bring skis, poles and ski boots and then we start. It was a little hard to get on the skis, but then we started. We went through the basics and I learned a lot during the two hours. We even got some cold drinks. A very nice morning!
