Evening Snowshoe Hike at Fjellheisen

Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime! Breathtaking views from the summit of 'Fjellheisen' mountain, an exhilarating 1-hour snowshoe hike, and the chance to witness the Northern Lights.

This 3-hour guided tour begins with a snowy mountain trail trek at Fjellheisen, high above Tromsø. We'll meet at the departure point and ride the cable car to the upper station at 421m above sea level, where our snowshoe hike begins.

Our experienced guide will accompany you, ensuring your comfort on snowshoes and capturing magical moments along the way.

From November to mid-March, we'll chase the Northern Lights from the best vantage point in Tromsø. If the northern lights make their appearance, we can enjoy their dance across the Arctic night sky from our mountain site.

The journey concludes at the Fjellheisen restaurant, where you'll savor a hot drink and pastry of the day. After warming up, we'll return to Tromsø's city center, marking the end of your unforgettable adventure.
