About
One of the best options is joining us on a half day snowshoe tour! Walk on the snowy white beach, summit a peak, enjoy the unique view, sit by the fire, enjoy a hot drink and listen to the great legends of the Vikings.
One of our experienced guides will lead the way over snow covered trails to reach the peak of Eggum for a breathtaking overlook of the winter wonderland. All within the means of human-powered winter travel. The stillness of the snowy nature when walking 1,5 m above the ground is truly fascinating. As we explore Eggum’s backcountry, we’ll get to know animal signs, tracks and also listen to some interesting facts about the traditional winter life of Lofoten and some facts about the Vikings.
To join this tour you don’t need any previous experience. If you can walk, you can snowshoe and your guide will make sure about your safety and enjoyment during the day.
