Snowshoeing to the igloo of Myrkdalen - Wild Voss

Trip description
Meet your guide in the reception of Myrkdalen Hotel. After introductions, your guide will make sure you are properly dressed for the trip. Warm winter boots and additional clothing is available without added costs. You will get equipped with snowshoes, poles and goggles before departure. We use the chair lift to get to our starting point, right in the middle of splendid mountain terrain. On a clear day we enjoy the great views of the neighboring mountains. A hike of approximately 45 minutes takes us to the igloo, which is our lunch spot.

Inside the igloo, your guide will prepare hot drinks and a light meal of locally crafted food. If the weather permits, we enjoy the scenery outside. During the excursion, your guide will talk about local cultural history and teach you a few things about going on trips in the winter mountains. After lunch we play around in the snow for a while before heading back to the chair lift. The descent on the lift is quite refreshing!
