If you are visiting Tromsø, Norway, then you want to see what life is really like as a Tromsø resident. A great way to see what life is like is to experience it yourself…which you can do by cross-country skiing. So we want to tell you about a top-rated cross country ski course – and how you can save money on this course with a discounted ticket.
This experience is led by a nice and patient guide who can help you even if you are a true beginner. You’ll learn the basics of “langrenn” (the Norwegian term for cross-country skiing), which is considered the national sport of Norway. Since today is the first day of the Winter Olympics, it seems fitting I talk about it today, don’t you think?
But this experience is about more than just the sport. It is also about seeing great sights. You’ll ski through Arctic nature and landscapes and see fjords and mountains. You’ll take breaks so you can get great photos.
This excursion is brought to you by Tromsø Adventures AS. As I said earlier, this is a high-rated course. It has 4.7 stars out of 5 on GetYourGuide, so it is one of the website’s top-performing activities.
They’ll provide skis, poles, and boots. You’ll need to inform them of your shoe size beforehand. Also, please note that they only accommodate sizes up to size 47.
It is recommended that you dress in layers, and that these layers include a waterproof outer layer as well as a hat, gloves, and warm socks. You’ll also be able to warm up on the tour with a complimentary warm cup of toddy, which you can enjoy with some sweet Norwegian snacks.
This activity takes around three hours. You’ll meet your guide at Charlottenlund Aktivitetspark (which has free parking!). If you’re not driving and taking public transportation, then take bus number 26 to Skoglyst and it’s just a short walk away.

But back to the discount! You can get an automatic discount here. You’ll save around 20%, and you won’t have to bother with a discount code or promo code since the coupon is automatic.
This activity takes place in the winter through 10 May 2026. You can check for availability here:
