You must have a minimum of 3 days of previous skiing experience, either from alpine skis /ski hill or from cross-country skiing. You must be in ok physical shape and fitness, and you must be able to get up by yourself or with a little help if you fall down in the snow with your skis on. You must be over the age of 12 years old.

 

How a day participating in the “Try-It ski touring” will look like:
10 am- meet at Tromsø Outdoor (Fredrik Langes Gate 14) in Tromsø city center. Here we will pick up your pre booked ski touring equipment. Please note the rental equipment is not included in the price, and you must pay for the rental as well as leaving a deposit for the skis at the shop. You receive a 10% discount on rental.

1030am- you and the guide leave for the mountains together with the other participants. After 20-30 minutes of driving, we start our tour.

11am to around 2 pm-The guide shows the uphill skiing technique, teaches you the equipment and we begin the ski touring adventure. The ascent pace will allow for conversation and make a smooth track that everyone can follow. There will be small breaks on our way up and we will look at the stunning views of the fjords and nearby mountain range. The turnaround point depends on the pace uphill. It will be a nice spot for pictures and be a longer break for refueling, adjusting clothing and preparing for the descent with gear.
The guide gives downhill instruction adapted to current conditions. Skiing off-piste can be considerably different than on-piste with loose snow or different types of crusts. The guide will be helpful on the way down and teach you some skiing techniques to master the current conditions.
“Try-it Ski” is an open group booking option. Minimum participants are 3 guests, and the maximum participants are 8 guests. Bookings with less than 3 people will be canceled. If you like to book a private guided tour, please see our webpage www.tromsoskiguides.com for more options.

3pm- Returned to Tromsø Outdoors
