No two Arctic days are alike — and your tour doesn’t have to be either. With our Custom Arctic Experience, we design the perfect mix of activity, scenery, and relaxation based on your preferences and availability.

Want to snowshoe or ski through a quiet winter forest? We’ve got you. This is a fun and active way to explore the snow-covered area around Kirkenes. No prior experience required.

Prefer to warm up in a wood-fired sauna in a peaceful forest, with grilled reindeer sausages and Arctic stories around the fire? We’ll make it happen. We’ll take you there by snowshoes, skis, or snowmobile.

Try ice fishing on a frozen lake. We bring all the gear, drill the hole, and show you how to catch Arctic char or trout.

Or hop on an e-fat bike and ride through the snow — perfect for both beginners and experienced cyclists.

Most activities can also be done as overnight adventures — just ask.

Have a few hours to spare before your flight? We’ll take you on a Trip’n’Fly Mini Adventure and drop you off at the airport in time for departure.

  • Whether you want a gentle winter walk or a full-day adventure on skis, our custom tours let you explore the Arctic at your own pace — with no avalanche risk. The Kirkenes region features gentle terrain, soft hills, and open landscapes, so you don’t need to worry about avalanche equipment or training. That makes it an ideal destination for first-timers, families, or anyone who just wants to enjoy the Arctic snow in peace. And if you’re a more experienced snowshoer or skier, we’ll gladly plan a more challenging route — longer distances, deeper snow, or multi-hour or multi-day traverses. Just let us know what you’re looking for. No matter your experience level, we provide all necessary gear and expert guiding to ensure a safe, memorable day out in the Arctic wilderness.
