CLOTHES:
To enjoy your trip as much as possible, you should take good care in preparing for the cold weather! We have several suggestions to consider when dressing for your tour:
If possible, it is best to wear several layers of clothes so you can add or remove layers as needed to regulate your body temperature. A warm underlayer of wool or fleece close to your body as well as thick socks, a hat, mittens and a scarf will help to keep you comfortable. However, remember that the best source of heat is your own body! Make sure that the clothes or the shoes you are wearing are not too tight. It's difficult to stay warm even in the best outdoor gear if you are losing blood circulation because of overly tight clothes. If you wish, you can also rent winter clothes and shoes at Tromsø Outdoor in the city center.
DIFFICULTY:
Medium. Not suitable for guests with a heart condition or restricted physical ability. Suitable from age 12 years old.
Day snowshoeing tour lasts around 3 hours inlcuding multiple stops. The difficulty will be costumized to the level of the group depending on previous requirements and on the guide's assessment of the group's condition. A minimum requierment is to be able to walk 2 hours, preferrably on uneven terrain.
Snowshoeing is very easy, if you can walk you can snowshoe. The only difference is that it is a little heavier to lift your feet from the ground, because of the weight of the snowshoes and snow. Depending on the conditions, you might sink a little in the snow, which makes it a little more tireing than walking on hard ground.
