Snowshoe Hiking Tour from Sommarøy with Snack & Pick-up

About the Activity

What to Expect

Admire the fjords from the top of a snow-covered mountain with our snowshoe hiking tour from Sommarøy with hot beverages and snacks included. Begin your adventure at the foot of one of our neighbouring mountains, where you will gear up with snowshoes and poles. As you ascend, you will be guided by our knowledgeable local guides who ensure your safety by avoiding any avalanche-prone areas. They will share fascinating insights about the Arctic winter life and the diverse wildlife that you may encounter along the way. Once you reach the summit, prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views of the fjords and archipelagos that stretch as far as the eye can see.

On your journey back, keep your eyes peeled for the enchanting wildlife of the region. You might spot a hare playfully leaping across your path, a ptarmigan camouflaged among the trees, or an eagle majestically soaring above the mountains. Conclude your unforgettable day with a cosy retreat to a local café, where you can enjoy a steaming hot beverage and a delicious cinnamon bun, savouring the warm hospitality and charming atmosphere.
