STORE HOURS AND EQUIPMENT PICK UP

All rental gear need to be picked up and returned in our regular opening hours, unless arranged otherwise in advance. You can find our opening hours on the bottom of our website. Opening hours can be changed on short notice.

Due to COVID-19 we have reduced opening hours until end of 2021.

We recommend checking for the latest updates on opening hours prior to your arrival.

If you arrive outside of our regular opening hours, we can deliver and/or collect equipment from hotels located in the city center (a fee of 100 NOK or 450 NOK for each collection and delivery applies). Occasionally the rental center can be opened outside of normal store hours (service fee of 400 NOK applies). This needs to be arranged separately prior to your arrival.

PRICES AND PAYMENTS

All prices are stated in Norwegian Krones (NoK). Prices for equipment rental cover the rental of the equipment only. You will need to collect and return the equipment to Tromsø Outdoor Activity and Rental Centre at Sjøgata 14, Tromsø, unless you arrange a delivery/collection. Costs incurred with transportation of equipment to another site are not included in the rental price, and are to be paid as arranged. Rental fees are to be payed in advance - upon reservation and are subjected to cancellation fees in case of cancellations and changes.

INSURANCE AND DAMAGED OR LOST EQUIPMENT

Renters are liable for the loss, theft, or damage of equipment and must cover the cost of any repairs or replacement, up to the price of new equipment of the same type and brand. Possible charges will be issued on the spot and are additional to the rental costs. The costs associated with any repairs will be considered on a case-by-case basis after consultation with our service points.

Weather conditions, not showing up and coming too late (after the tour departure time or renal date) is not considered a reason for refund and is paid full price.

Tromsø Outdoor AS reserves the right to cancel the activity under below circumstances:
- we require a minimum number of at least two participants on each tour, if there is only one person booked on the activity on a particular day or time we may have to cancel the tour;
- amount of snow in our area is not sufficient to conduct activities;
- weather conditions make it not safe to conduct activities; in Norway we say there is no bad weather - only bad clothes, and we apply that rule in our daily life and work;
- cross country ski trails are too icy to conduct ski sessions safely;
- in case our guide get sick or hurt during work and we receive too short notice to schedule other person for work.

In such case guests can choose to receive full refund of the tour costs, alternative activity or place on the same activity other day.
