Snowshoeing week for beginners in Kvaloya, Norway

If snowshoeing is something you always wanted to pursue, why not now? And why not in the beautiful island of Kvaloya, Norway? Join me on a once in a lifetime experience next season, just outside of Tromsö.

The amazing Kvaloya island is a perfect site for snowshoeing, in the marvelous light of the Nordic winter. Also, from November to mid-January, humpback whales and orcas come to this very site in the Kattfjord fjord.

First, I will meet you either at the Zurich airport to fly to Tromso, or directly at Tromso. Once there, we will drive to Kattfjord fjord in the Kvaloya island.

From days 2 to 6, I will guide you on snowshoes across deserted valleys and barren landscapes, as well as bushy groves. From the Tverrfjellet (525 m) we will be able to see a unique view of the fjord. And from the top of the Vasstranddalen we will witness the magical sighting of the whales jumping for their herring. On Day 7, we will drive back to Tromsö and fly back home.

The daily tours in this program are simple and suited for beginners, and last between 4 and 5 hours. Given the unique weather conditions this time of the year, with the sun below the horizon, we can observe the first northern lights, with the whales just a few meters from us.

In terms of equipment you will need: snowshoes, ski poles, hiking or mountain boots, headlamp, and winter clothing (the average temperature in January is -4.4°C/24°F).

A rich breakfast and dinner will be prepared by Ulrica. Flights from Zurich to Tromso, and back, are also included. Departing from Germany or Austria is possible upon request.

Please note that cancellation insurance is compulsory.
