Did You Know the Viking Kings Were Skiers?
When you clip into your skis and glide through the peaceful Arctic wilderness with SkiTromsø, you’re following in the tracks of some of Norway’s most legendary figures. Skiing in Norway isn’t just a modern sport—it’s a tradition that stretches back over 1,000 years, to the time of Viking warriors and Norse gods.

It has transcended social classes and age groups, evolving into a central part of our national culture—and, quite literally, into the lives of kings.
