Tour description

This adventure starts in Flåm where you and your guide take a short ride by minibus to the hike's starting point, where the real snowshoe adventure begins!
During the tour, you can enjoy the amazing view and experience how it is to hike on these traditional snowshoes. Your guide will of course give you instructions on how to walk comfortably in snowshoes, as well as share stories about the unique local culture and nature. At the turning point of the trip, you will be served hot drinks, and you have the opportunity to feel the unique tranquility of the beautiful winter nature. 
Before you return to Flåm, there will be a stop at the famous Stegastein viewpoint. Here, you will have time to take pictures and enjoy the magnificent view of the winter fjord landscape.
After a fresh winter day out, continue the evening in the warm and atmospheric surroundings of Ægir known for its distinctive wooden interior, Viking-inspired atmosphere, and iconic nine-meter-high fireplace.
Dinner is served after the RBB-boat tour at 18:00. Guests can also choose to enjoy dinner the evening before the tour. Please state your preferred dining date when booking.
The evening includes the signature Ægir Viking Plank — a five-course dining experience paired with five carefully selected Ægir beers. Non-alcoholic alternatives are available.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy local flavours, warm hospitality, and a unique dining experience after exploring the winter fjords around Flåm.
Please Note: Changing weather conditions and unexpected warm periods may lead to reduced snowfall or bare ground in some areas, potentially converting our planned snow excursion into a hiking experience.
