Snowshoe Hiking with Norway Mountain Guides

It might not be snow in the city of Bergen, but our professional guide will bring you to winter wonderland.

The guide knows where to go and will choose the best place according to the time of season. Together in a small group we will take you away from the crowds and go off the “beaten track” to see magical winter scenery.

Our goal is to let you have a good time with new friends, see great views, feel the remote area and make it a day to remember.

Hiking with snowshoes require no previous experience, only that you are fit enough to do a normal hike in slightly uneven terrain. We will ensure that you get appropriate snowshoes and poles, and our guide ensures a hot drink and transfer to/from the hiking area.

For your own enjoyment, please read what to bring so you can enjoy the wilderness, and not freeze during the experience.

We'll take it slow and enjoy the natural surroundings on the way to the summit.

At the top we are rewarded with a good view of a local fjord arm. Of course, depending on whether the weather is clear, if not we get the pleasure of feeling the elements, snow, wind and cold. The guide will teach you more about cultural and historical of Norway and Bergen. This is a truly magical way to experience Norway in the winter.
