Get close to Arctic nature on this peaceful and inspiring snowshoe adventure on magical Kvaløya, just 25 minutes from Tromsø. Your experience begins with pickup in Tromsø city centre, followed by a scenic drive through fjords and mountains. Along the way, your local guide shares stories about the region, including views of Tromsø Island from a distance and the dramatic history of Håkøya, where the German battleship Tirpitz was sunk during World War II.
As we arrive in the small village of Kaldfjord, you step into a quiet Arctic landscape shaped by wind, snow, and time. Before starting the hike, you’ll learn how to put on and walk with snowshoes — an easy and comfortable way to move across deep snow. Then the slow journey into nature begins.
We walk at a relaxed pace, allowing you to truly feel the stillness of the Arctic. The trail leads gently upward to a small peak, where breathtaking views open up over two fjords, surrounded by soft, rounded mountains and wide winter horizons. This is not about speed or fitness — it is about presence, silence, and connection to nature.
Along the way, keep an eye out for reindeer, moose, and Arctic birds that live in this region. Your guide is not just trained — they have grown up here and know this landscape by heart. You will hear stories about wildlife, local life, and how people have lived with this nature for generations. This is the kind of knowledge only a true local can offer.
At the viewpoint, we take time to pause, enjoy the silence, and take photos of the magical fjords below. You’ll be served warm coffee, tea, or hot chocolate as you take in the scenery — a perfect Arctic moment.
This tour is designed to be calm, authentic, and deeply connected to the place. No rush. No crowds. Just snow, mountains, fjords, and a local guide sharing their world with you. Choose local. Choose real Arctic experience.
