Begin your adventure at Rampen Adventure Hub in Bodø. Drive out into nature to experience the snowy Arctic winter with a guided snowshoe hike in the Bodø area to Valnesfossen, and a visit to Saltstraumen - one of Norway's most famous natural phenomena.

Embark on a 3.5-kilometer snowshoe hike through a snowy winter landscape with streams and paths shaped over millennia. Valnesfossen is one of Northern Norway's largest waterfalls, with a drop of 60 meters and spectacular surroundings. The terrain is well suited for an easy winter hike, and snowshoes make traveling over the snow a safe and fun winter activity in Bodø for beginners, with a pace adapted to the group.

Known as the world's strongest tidal current, Saltstraumen is at its strongest four times a day, reaching speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour. The roaring sound can be heard all the way to shore, and you can observe the maelstrom and the many eddies dancing in the water. Saltstraumen is home to a diverse range of wildlife, above and below water, as cod, pollack and halibut swim, white-tailed eagles can be seen in the sky above, and eiders dive. The stop at Saltstraumen is added when the current is strongest, so you can experience the amazing power of this natural phenomenon.
