Join us on a guided snowshoe hike through the snowy forests of Northern Norway — all the way to the edge of Russia.
We start by fitting you with snowshoes and warm gear (if needed), then head out on a 3 km loop trail through quiet Arctic wilderness. The hike includes a moderate uphill section (about 100 m).
Along the way, your guide will share stories of Cold War tensions, spy escapes, and today’s complex relationship between Norway and Russia. You’ll spot the modern border station at Storskog, and gaze across the frozen Pasvik river at the majestic Russian Boris Gleb church — a sacred site that influenced where the border was drawn.
The highlight: standing just meters from Russia at the twin border markers. This is as close as you can legally get — and a truly unique place where history, politics, and nature all meet.
We’ll also pause for hot drinks and snacks in the snow, with plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos. No snowshoe experience is needed — this tour is suitable for anyone with average fitness who enjoys being outdoors.
Important: Travelers from the EU must bring an official ID card, and all international guests need to carry a valid passport.
