The amazing Ole - What an amazing day out. We thoroughly enjoyed the snow shoe hike. Ole was brilliant, knowledgeable, funny and overall a superb guide. Ole really went out of his way to make our experience unforgettable. With it being Easter he even brought us some chocolate 😋. Thanks again Ole, you made an unforgettable new experience even more memorable.

Unforgettable experience!! - We absolutely loved every second of our winter mountain snowshoe hike adventure. Our guide Ole was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, very patient and a lot of fun. He insured that we were comfortable the entire time and also allowed us a lot of freedom on the hike. He was also very interesting and great to talk to. The experience run smoothly from starts finish – from pick up in Bergen city centre to collection of the gear to the hike itself. We were very lucky with the weather – it was a lovely day with blue skies, and the hike was extremely picturesque. However, I think we would have enjoyed the experience regardless because of our amazing guide. All in all, it was a perfect hike with great weather and a new friend in Ole. The hike was approximately 10 km round-trip with some significant elevation – however, I have full confidence that the guide would have tailored this to our fitness levels. I will not only be recommending this experience to my friends – but I will be returning myself for more in the future.

Perfecte snowshoe wandeling, zelfs nog in maart! - This was an amzing snowshoe trip. Although in Bergen there was no snow the two guides drove us up the mountain and we spend a good couple of hours there snowshoeing! Two guides on a small group (6-7). Looking after us very well regarding safety and to fully enjoy our trip! Well done Norway Mountain Guides!

Very pleasant snowshoe hike - Very pleasant activity in the company of our guide Øystein. We had a lot of fog but we still had a great day of snowshoeing. Øystein explained a lot to us about Norway and we were treated to a stop in a heated cabin with hot drinks and reindeer sausage!! Thank you for this experience which I recommend

A fun drizzly day! - I went with Oystein and 3 other guests. Pick up in the car was prompt and as specified. It was a very drizzly, overcast day so was concerned we would struggle to find snow but Oystein knew exactly where to go. Despite the rain, we saw some beautiful sights, although no views due to the clouds (I can imagine the views would have been stunning!). Really enjoyed the hot chocolate and Norwegian snacks in the cabin- a chance to hear about Oystein’s incredible life whilst snacking on reindeer sausage! As a solo traveller, I felt comfortable and safe at all times and really enjoyed the day. Thanks Oystein!

The best way to see Norway. - Had a fantastic time, highly rated. Øystein was an excellent guide and we were completely comfortable with his skills and abilities, but also - he was incredibly friendly and good natuted, which just eased us into the whole experience. It was excellent throughout, with great views, and never too challenging - but just enough that it was engaging. Would recommend anyone going to Bergen to reach out and take one of these tours, it's the best way to see Norway.

Amazing first time snowshoe + professional guide + beautiful view! - We had a wonderful and memorable first time snowshoe experience with our guide Østen, he is a very experienced hiker and gave us tips along the way to make the hike easier. The weather started snowy but once we were 10 min into hiking it stopped and the sun came out, we even got to see the fjord on top of the summit. Østen also lets us hike at our own pace and made sure to stop and check in every now and then to see if everyone is feeling comfortable. The hike ended back in a cabin nearby and he offered hot coffee and hot chocolate with some local snacks. We also loved the fact that it was a private group with just the four of us and we got to have great conversations with our guide. We weren’t sure about the weather on the day before the hike and after sending a message on Viator we got a quick response to confirm. Overall I would highly recommend this tour!
