Tromsø Outdoor Team

It is a pleasure every day to send our many guests into the wonderful scenery we have here in the Tromsø area.

You will usually find me in the office at Sjøgata 14, but sometimes I'm lucky to be allowed to guide some trips and activities. I live on top of Tromsøya, and thrive both in and outside the paths in open-air areas surounding my house.

When I'm not at work I spend a lot of time with my wife on trips in the majestic mountains around Tromsø, organizing my stamp collection, in addition to attending meetings, and as a leader on child and youth activities in my church.

Hi! It is me who takes care of big part of administration work behind Tromsø Outdoor.

Sometimes I reply your e-mails regarding reservations, activities, skiing, cycling, weather and everything else that is important for you!
I used to get the change to guide some of our hikes and snowshoe trips or to help you with planning your activities in our rental center. These days I spend time taking care of our work planning, website, social media, booking system, accounting, hiring, meetings and work on local projects. My best skill is maintaining everything at the same time and keeping over 550 products Tromsø Outdoor has in offer under control ;)

I had a long journey to get to Tromsø – from Poland, to Australia, then to Western Norway, and finally here. Having that and many other travels in my heart – I find Tromsø one of the best places in the world to visit and live in. I enjoy sharing my love of this beautiful region with all the people who come to visit us. I started guiding when I was nineteen years old and now at Tromsø Outdoor in 2014 I have made it part of my work and every day life!

My free time is filled with friends, dancing, cycling, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, photography, books, travels and learning Norwegian.

Hi, my name is Sascha and I have been working at Tromsø Outdoor since 2014 year.

In winter I mainly guide the snowshoe and cross-country skiing-trips. Sometimes you can also find me in the rental center and there I will help you with any of your requests. I have also main responsibility for training all Tromsø Outdoor guides and ensuring that all tours are conducted in safe manner at all the times.  

I love being outdoors in the winter, to be active, lighting up a fire and relaxing. In summer I fill my time with hiking, whitewater-kayaking, canoing, and fishing. For many years I worked in the summer as a kayak guide in Sweeden and Germany.  

For me its a great pleasure to talk about the wildlife and nature of Northern Norway and show you our way of life here in the Arctic!

See you soon in the beautiful area of Troms!

Hi there! I'm Sylwia and you will find me at the Tromsø Outdoor activity and rental center at Sjøgata 14 every day, both in the summer and in the winter.

I will be happy to welcome you here, help you to find the right equipment for your personal Tromsø adventure, and to provide you with all sorts of information. It might also be that I take you on a snowshoe trip through the snowy forest area on top of the island since I work as a guide as well.

I moved to Tromsø in 2010 and have been working as a city guide for several years now. I very much enjoy the many faces of Tromsø: its breathtaking nature, exciting history, and multicultural society - I am happy to have found my home here! I spent much of my time with long walks through nature in each of our beautiful seasons but I also enjoy hiking, snowboarding, cycling and kayaking whenever I get the opportunity. My adventure with Tromsø Outdoor has begun in 2016.

Since I love travelling, exploring new places, and getting to know different people and their culture, I very much enjoy helping our visitors so that they too can have a wonderful Tromsø experience.

Hey there!

I am Mauricio, a young person from the centre of Spain, more precisely from a small city called Soria.  
Mountains have always been my passion and I feel attracted to them. In June 2018 I achieved my university degree in tourism, in the English language, that I studied for three years in Madrid and for one year in Finland.

It is there in the Northern Finland, where I got to know and experience the northern European way of living. This has given me many work opportunities in different sub-sectors of the tourism and I get to discover what I really like and enjoy, which is guiding.

In the mountains, I have always been doing different sports since I was a little one. Nowadays I spend my time running, skiing, climbing or snowshoeing.  
Although, I am always looking forward to getting to know other means to move around them. Also, I have work experience in the rivers kayaking.

Another big hobby of mine is travelling and speaking foreign languages, as I believe is a great way to put in perspective the way we do things.

Guiding has always been a passion; get to interact with other people that might have the same interest than me. I will be very happy to share my knowledge with the people around me in Tromso.

I look forward to meeting you on a tour or at the Tromso Outdoor rental centre!

New to the team, I will be doing a little bit of everything, from guiding to administration.

The outdoors changed my life and so I am a huge proponent for natural moment and human powered adventures, whether it is by foot, bike, ski or kayak. It is my mission to give people the opportunity to experience what the outdoors can offer. I love being active outdoors and don't care if I am climbing, cycling, kayaking or hiking. I love it all so long as I get to move.

Originally from New Zealand, I am a professional outdoor instructor and wilderness guide with over 15 years experience working in different countries and environments. For the past 10 years I have been living and adventuring in Finland and North Norway, while running my own adventure tourism business, Adventure by Design. I have been leading multi-day trekking and skiing tours, and outdoor training courses; teaching my skills to both guests and staff. Now I am looking forward to new challenges and adventures working at Trosmø Outdoor.

I am also an experienced photographer and have been running photography tours and workshops in the northern regions.

Qualifications:

FINLAV Pro 1 - avalanche

I'm a typical Austrian guy who grew up in the mountains with a passion for outdoor sports, especially biking and skiing.

In Austria, I have worked as a bike mechanic in a sport shop for 15 years, where I learnt my skills for repairing both bikes and skis. During the winter season I would also teach cross country skiing. It is a pleasure for me to teach what I love doing.

This summer I went on a trip with my mountain bike and rode from Austria to North Cape for the first time. One of the nicest places I have been to during my trip was Tromsø. The mix between city and nature is one of the reasons I have decided to come here.

Now I'm a member of Tromsø Outdoor and looking forward to meeting you in the workshop and rental center and maybe outside on the cross country track. I'll be happy to help you with your requests.

See you soon!

My name is Marcel and I am 27 years old.

One of the most controversial questions of mankind is, which came first. The bicycle or me? To this day, there is no clear answer to this question. But it's probably exactly this question that has been driving my boundless passion for bikes, ever since I started mountain biking as a child. Fortunately, this passion was also accompanied by a pinch of talent, so that I guarantee to fix any bike problem.

If there where no skiing, you could think I am obsessed with cycling. Further free and downhill skiing give me that feeling of absolute freedom and the necessary amount of adrenaline.

As an experienced bike mechanic and ski instructor, it is kind of destiny for me to share my enthusiasm and bring people closer to nature and how I see and experience it.

I hope I can convince and inspire you for that!
