Snowshoes spread your weight so you can walk on deep snow instead of sinking into it. The movement is a slightly wider walk, helped by poles. Plenty of people in their sixties and seventies in Finnish Lapland, where we live, snowshoe for pleasure every winter.<\/p><p>The question is therefore not age but condition: how comfortable are you walking for a couple of hours, on uneven ground, in the cold, with a few small hills? We are not doctors, and we will not give medical advice, but we can say that someone who regularly walks an hour or two outdoors is in a different position from someone who struggles with stairs.<\/p><p>The operator\u2019s page recommends the Arctic Snowshoe Hike for ages 10 and up and does not list an upper age limit, so the decision is yours to make with the guide\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_Operator_Tells_Us_About_the_Hike\"><\/span>What the Operator Tells Us About the Hike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is what the tour page says, without embellishment:<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tromso-Arctic-Snowshoe-Hike-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Snowshoeing near Troms\u00f8.

That matters for older walkers: you are not racing anyone, and a guide who leads a small group of two to eight guests can notice if someone is struggling.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tromso-Arctic-Snowshoe-Hike-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"A guided snowshoe group on a snowy trail.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2138\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>A guided snowshoe group on a snowy trail. <span>Photo: Legendary Adventure<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Some practical points from our own winters in the Arctic. Use the poles; they take weight off the knees and help balance. Walk with slightly wider steps than usual, and do not try to keep up with the youngest person in the group. Take the pauses. Drink something warm if the guide offers it, and tell the guide early if you are cold or tired, since it is much easier to change plans in the first hour than the last.<\/p><p>Also remember the cold. Mild effort in minus-ten air is tiring in a different way from the same effort indoors, so allow for lower energy than at home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"htf-la-cta\" style=\"margin-top:36px;\">\n<div class=\"htf-la-cta-text\">\n<p class=\"htf-la-eyebrow\">Book it \u00b7 5% off with HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-la-title\">Arctic Snowshoe Hike<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-la-sub\">From NOK 1 500 per person \u00b7 4 Hours \u00b7 small groups of 2-8 guests (larger groups on request) Please note that the tour duration includes transfer time..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<a class=\"htf-la-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/legendaryadventure\/items\/478724\/calendar\/?full-items=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See live availability \u2192<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<!-- HTF-PARTNER-NEWSLETTER-TROMSO-V1 --><style>\n.htf-pnl{margin:44px 0;padding:36px 32px;background:linear-gradient(160deg,#2D5A3D 0%,#1a3d28 100%);border-radius:10px;color:#fff;box-shadow:0 12px 32px rgba(0,0,0,.14);font-family:Inter,system-ui,sans-serif;}\n.htf-pnl-eyebrow{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:3px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#C8A45A;margin:0 0 12px;}\n.htf-pnl h3{font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;font-size:28px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.15;color:#fff;margin:0 0 12px;}\n.htf-pnl p.htf-pnl-sub{font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:rgba(255,255,255,.85);margin:0 0 20px;max-width:560px;}\n.htf-pnl form{display:flex;gap:8px;max-width:520px;flex-wrap:wrap;}\n.htf-pnl input[type=email]{flex:1 1 240px;height:46px;padding:0 16px;background:rgba(255,255,255,.1);border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.25);border-radius:4px;color:#fff;font-size:14px;outline:none;}\n.htf-pnl input::placeholder{color:rgba(255,255,255,.6);}\n.htf-pnl button{height:46px;padding:0 22px;background:#C8A45A;color:#1A1917;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;border:1px solid #C8A45A;border-radius:4px;cursor:pointer;white-space:nowrap;}\n.htf-pnl button:hover{background:#E8D5A0;border-color:#E8D5A0;}\n.htf-pnl .htf-pnl-msg{margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#E8D5A0;min-height:18px;}\n.htf-pnl small{display:block;margin-top:10px;font-size:12px;color:rgba(255,255,255,.6);}\n.htf-sb-pnl{background:#2D5A3D !important;color:#fff;}\n.htf-sb-pnl .htf-sb-label{color:#C8A45A !important;}\n.htf-sb-pnl h4{font-family:'Playfair Display',serif;font-size:17px;color:#fff;margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.3;}\n.htf-sb-pnl p{font-size:13px;color:rgba(255,255,255,.8);line-height:1.5;margin:0 0 12px;}\n.htf-sb-pnl form{display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:8px;}\n.htf-sb-pnl input[type=email]{height:40px;padding:0 12px;background:rgba(255,255,255,.1);border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.25);border-radius:4px;color:#fff;font-size:13px;outline:none;}\n.htf-sb-pnl input::placeholder{color:rgba(255,255,255,.6);}\n.htf-sb-pnl button{height:40px;background:#C8A45A;color:#1A1917;font-weight:600;font-size:13px;border:none;border-radius:4px;cursor:pointer;}\n.htf-sb-pnl .htf-pnl-msg{font-size:12px;color:#E8D5A0;margin:8px 0 0;}\n@media(max-width:520px){.htf-pnl{padding:28px 20px;}.htf-pnl h3{font-size:23px;}.htf-pnl form{flex-direction:column;}.htf-pnl button{width:100%;}}\n<\/style><div class=\"htf-pnl\"><div class=\"htf-pnl-eyebrow\">Troms\u00f8 deals newsletter<\/div><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Tromsos_best_tour_offers_in_your_inbox\"><\/span>Get Troms\u00f8&#x27;s best tour offers in your inbox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p class=\"htf-pnl-sub\">Legendary Adventure&#x27;s northern lights, fjord and snowshoe tours \u2014 new dates, seasonal picks and our 5% reader code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5, straight from Joona &amp; Alla.

That leaves the afternoon for rest, which is exactly what we would plan for. Eat a proper breakfast, drink water before you leave, and do not schedule anything demanding after the hike. A warm lunch, a rest and an early evening are a better reward than a second activity.<\/p><p>If you want an aurora night in the same trip, put it on a different day, ideally with a rest day or a free morning after it. The shared Northern Lights Tour returns late, and a 10:00 snowshoe pickup the next morning is hard work at any age. Spread the tours across your stay, keep one evening free as a weather buffer, and let the fjord tour fill a day when you want scenery without effort.<\/p><p>Finally, think about footing. Snow can hide ice, and your first steps on snowshoes feel awkward. Take the first ten minutes slowly, use the poles, and ask the guide to show you the technique. Most people are comfortable within a short time, and the guide is there precisely for that.<\/p><p>If you take regular medication, keep it with you and warm. Cold can affect some medicines and devices, so ask your own doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure; we are not able to give medical advice. Travel insurance that covers winter activities is also worth checking before you fly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Wear_and_Bring\"><\/span>What to Wear and Bring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tour includes snowshoes and poles, but not clothing, so dress for the Arctic. We would wear:<\/p><ul><li>A merino or synthetic base layer, top and bottom<\/li><li>A warm mid-layer, such as fleece or wool<\/li><li>A windproof and waterproof outer layer<\/li><li>Warm waterproof boots with room for thick socks<\/li><li>A hat, a neck warmer and warm gloves, plus a thin spare pair<\/li><li>Sunglasses on bright days, since snow glare tires the eyes<\/li><\/ul><p>Bring a small daypack for a camera and a snack. If you use medication or hearing aids, keep them warm and accessible. Warm hands matter more than anything else for most older travellers, so pack two pairs of gloves.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_Between_Shared_Private_and_Easier_Alternatives\"><\/span>Choosing Between Shared, Private and Easier Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If a shared group sounds uncomfortable, there are alternatives with different levels of effort:<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tromso-Arctic-Snowshoe-Hike-image-7.jpg\" alt=\"The private hike lets a small group set its own pace.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2138\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>The private hike lets a small group set its own pace. <span>Photo: Legendary Adventure<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><table><tr><th>Option<\/th><th>Price<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><th>Effort<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/legendaryadventure\/items\/478724\/calendar\/?full-items=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Arctic Snowshoe Hike<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/span><\/td><td>NOK 1,500 pp<\/td><td>4 hours (incl. transfer)<\/td><td>Walking on snowshoes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/legendaryadventure\/items\/531565\/calendar\/?full-items=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Private Snowshoe Hike<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/span><\/td><td>NOK 12,000 per group<\/td><td>4 hours<\/td><td>Same hike, your own pace<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/legendaryadventure\/items\/477256\/calendar\/?full-items=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Sommar\u00f8y &amp; Kval\u00f8ya Scenic Fjord Tour<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/span><\/td><td>NOK 2,100 pp<\/td><td>5\u20136 hours<\/td><td>Easy: short walks at stops<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fareharbor.com\/embeds\/book\/legendaryadventure\/items\/731954\/calendar\/?full-items=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Ersfjord &amp; Gr\u00f8tfjord Scenic Fjord Tour<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5<\/span><\/td><td>NOK 1,500 pp<\/td><td>3\u20134 hours<\/td><td>Easy sightseeing<\/td><\/tr><\/table><p>The private hike is NOK 12,000 for up to eight guests, so it makes sense for a family with grandparents (six guests is NOK 2,000 each) but is expensive for two.
