Strap on a pair of snow shoes, and dive straight into this Norwegian winter wonderland.

With various routes and options available, unforgettable memories are guaranteed for everyone of all skills and abilities – Lyngen Lodge offers snowshoe hiking in Norway that goes beyond expectations.

Equipment

Everything you need for Snowshoeing in Norway

Unsurprisingly, the one thing you need to go snowshoe hiking at Lyngen Lodge is a pair of snowshoes. These, along with extra equipment such as trekking poles / hiking sticks are all provided by Lyngen Lodge. Traditional snow shoes were made by binding tree branches together like a kind of tennis racquet. Now though, our snow shoes are made of lightweight aluminium. All you need is a good sturdy set of walking boots.
