In evidenza
Since the first humans settled along the coast of Northern Norway 11,000 years ago, we have been strongly connected to lakes, rivers, fjords and the sea. The power of enormous masses of water in motion – which shape and adapt, and which give life and mystery to their surroundings. Join Rampen on a guided snowshoe hike in Bodø to Valnesfossen, one of Northern Norway’s largest waterfalls, and Saltstraumen, known as the world’s strongest tidal current. Over about five hours, you’ll experience a snow-covered winter landscape, the calm of nature - and the powerful forces of the water. This is an authentic adventure you won’t want to miss! Suitable for beginners too, with a pace adapted to the group. This tour is great for the adventure seeking and nature loving traveler.

Itinerario
Saltstraumen is known as the strongest tidal current in the world, and Valnesfossen is a 60 meter high waterfall falling down the cliff. On this tour we bring you close to both of these scenic viewpoints. Saltstraumen is at its strongest four times every day with a maximum speed of almost 40 km/hr. Within a six hr period it’s up to 380 cubic meters flowing through below the bridge. Saltstraumen is a great source of life. The Eider duck is often seen swimming around, and if you’re lucky we might see the white tailed eagle flying on the sky. The power of the current is enormous and the history from the area is really fascinating.
The trek to Valnesfossen is about 3,5 km / 2,2 miles. When walking on snow we’ll use the traditional snowshoes and poles on the trek. Snowshoeing is a great activity in the wintertime and makes walking in snow covered terrain into a much greater experience. It’s important to bring good outdoorsy shoes on this hike. Most of the hike is in flat terrain along a nice river on nice paths. If it’s rainy conditions some small creeks can grow big quite fast, which make one crossing a bit challenging. In the forest and along the river you can be lucky to experience a great variety of life. The salmon swims in the river, and the national bird of Norway, the white-throated dipper, can be seen jumping the wet rocks. In between the pines and the spruces you can observe tracks from the moose, fox and the rabbit.

About Bodø
Bodø is a coastal city in northern Norway just above the Arctic Circle, the gateway to Saltstraumen's tidal whirlpools and to the Lofoten islands.
Bodø is a modern seaside city in Nordland, northern Norway, at about 67 degrees north, a little above the Arctic Circle. It was largely rebuilt after bombing in 1940, and its centre is a compact grid of low buildings, a harbour, and a cathedral with a separate bell tower. The Norwegian Aviation Museum, shaped like a propeller, and the Kjerringøy trading post, a preserved nineteenth-century merchant station, are the main sights.
