“Was a great evening of cross-country skiing. Our host was very friendly and got us kitted out quickly. We had an introduction to the basics of x-country and had a few runs in the warm up area. We then continued on the trail out around the park stopping after 5k for some warm blackcurrant and local snack. Towards the end of the evening we were introduced to some more advanced techniques and had a great time going down some larger hills!! Awesome evening 🤙”

It was soooo fun! I would definitely do it again. To be honest, I would book any activity with Tromso Outdoor if I'm ever back in Tromso, we did 2 activities with…”

Logo que reservada a atividade, a escola entrou em contato comigo para me pedir as medidas dos dois, para que pudessem ter as roupas e acessórios adequados. Além disso, o professor foi bem pontual e extremamente paciente e didático, passando-lhes a técnica e acompanhando-os de perto durante a aula prática. Eles, que nunca haviam esquiado antes, terminaram a aula confiantes e felizes. Recomendo demais essa atividade.”
