About

Tjeldsundbrua is surrounded by beautiful nature, which makes perfect conditions for a snowshoe hike in the cold winter.
Our snowshoe hikes are guided by English speaking guides who takes you through a wandering with storytelling in the night. The hike goes up the valley right outside our doorstep. At the end of the route a bonfire is lit, hot drinks and a light meal is served.  

With no traffic, street lights of Wi-Fi, and just the cracking sound of the bonfire you can be disconnected from the world, relax and enjoy the stars in the sky above. Perhaps the Northern Lights will appear and show you its true beauty and colors

The purpose of this hike is not to burn calories, but to charge your batteries. The route is not challenging and suits all ages.

Rent of equipment, such as snowshoes and hiking poles, are included.

 

Duration: 3 hours

Starting point: Tjeldsundbrua Kro & Hotell
