Definitely had the best time and if I ever come back, will be requesting a tour with him!! Would recommend this company as the history and folklore you learn as well as spotting hunting trails was so interesting.”
A guided winter hike to Ryten in Lofoten using snowshoes or microspikes, with pickup, small group pacing, and warm mountain lunch.
“I did the snowshoe guided group hike to Ryten with Guide to Lofoten and it was the most beautiful hike I have ever done! The scenery was breathtaking! We were very lucky to have calm sunny winter weather for most of the hike but there was a cold wind at the top, so you need to be prepared with warm clothes if that happens while you are sitting having a tasty hot lunch with coffee or tea, prepared by the guide. Our guide was Jitka and she was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.”
Winter snowshoeing to Ryten from Reine, gear included, small groups up to 7, warm lunch on the mountain, pickup from Å to Ramberg.
“The entire hike was wonderful, from the views to the weather, I definitely want to do this again should I get the chance. My group's guide, Jakub, was extremely helpful and insightful with his knowledge of the Lofoten Islands and hiking in general. He also mentioned we got really lucky with the almost windless weather and clear skies, so that was a bonus. But regardless, Jakub was a wonderful guide in my opinion to lead us on the hike. Regarding the hike itself, it wasn't too challenging, was very memorable and enjoyable. There were countless points during the hike where the views were stunning and photos were taken. Jakub also…”
Uphill snowshoeing in Lofoten with gear included, micro spikes for icy patches, and a possible climb toward 560 m.
“Fabulous morning on the hike, views incredible and the guide Timea was super lovely and knowledgeable. Also Luna the dog was very cute and friendly. With a decent level of fitness and if weather is nice enough, I think go for the uphill hike, takes a little while to get used to the snow shoes but once you do they are very comfortable and you could walk for hours and really take in the sights within the nature hike. Had a brilliant morning and would 100% recommend.”

“C'était extraordinaire, à couper le souffle. Philippe a été parfait en tout point. Nous n'avions pas d'expérience et un niveau très faible en sport mais il a su proposer une balade sur-mesure et faire preuve de réactivité face aux conditions météo. Le moment restera gravé à jamais, nous nous sommes sentis tellement bien et fiers. Cerise sur le gâteau, Philippe possède une culture extraordinaire et vous enrichira pendant quelques heures de connaissances en tout genre. Merci infiniment Philippe.”
