The 8 Guided Ski Trips Worldwide Travellers Rate Highest

1.Cross Country Guided Skiing Course

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 503 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $99Our pick

Learn cross-country skiing in Tromsø with patient guides, Arctic views, warm toddy, local sweets, and a scenic route for beginners.

“The guides were awesome. Very patient and clear in their explanations. As a beginner (me), even the gentle slopes were challenging 😂 but we had ample time to practice and one of them was always nearby (it’s good that there were 2 coaches). It’s not cheap (but everything in Tromso is expensive!) but you get high quality equipment and professional lesson. Overall, a fantastic experience!”

4.Ylläs: Guided Night Skiing Tour Under the Arctic Sky

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $135

Ski through Ylläs forests at night, pause by a campfire for sausages, and watch for Northern Lights on this small-group Arctic tour.

“Super activité, moment suspendu à skier dans la forêt obscure et n’entendre que le bruit de la neige sous nos pas. On a eu la chance de voir de belles aurores dans le ciel étoilé. Magique. Moment sympa aussi autour d’un feu à griller des saucisses. Ça n’a rien à voir avec les balades de jour et l’ambiance de la forêt la nuit vaut vraiment le coup. Ça restera sans doute une de mes meilleures activités en Laponie. Et Kevin est un super guide, sympa, jovial, qui met en confiance. D’ailleurs j’étais seule sur le tour et je trouve ça vraiment très professionnel de ne pas avoir annulé la sortie.…”
