A Sustainable Hike in Tromsø

Enjoy Sweeping Views and Engage in Respectful Practices Observe the stunning mountain panorama from Fløya and engage in a sustainable community project. Meet a local biologist and learn about a local “leave-no-trace” community project designed to protect Fløya’s impressive biodiversity and red-listed plant species. Transfer to Tromsø’s cable car and take in the stunning panorama of the fjords and mountains as you rise above the city. Survey the trails and recently built cairns (human-made piles of rocks) that threaten the tundra, and look for rare plants. Record your observations as you go and learn leave-no-trace practices you can adopt in the future when hiking in nature. After your invigorating hike, savor a vegetarian snack and beverage, before returning to your ship. As a part of your tour, Viking will make a donation to support Rissa Citizen Science, a local nonprofit organization that is leading the initiative. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
