“Authentic experiences – guided with knowledge, passion, and Arctic endurance”

We are a small family-run company, founded in 2025, built on a deep love for Tromsø, the mountains, and the raw beauty of Arctic nature. From here, we offer real experiences – close, safe, and personal.

Behind the guiding is **Erlend**, a dedicated outdoor enthusiast with a lifelong connection to the mountains. He has crossed the peaks around Tromsø countless times, in all seasons, whether on skis or running shoes – both in winter’s snowy wilderness and the endless daylight of summer.

With a background as a **physiotherapist** and years of experience working with both young and old, Erlend makes people feel safe and welcome. He has also been a **training instructor**, working with national teams and top-level athletes – but just as eager to help everyday people find joy and motivation in movement.

Erlend has a genuine wish to share his love for nature – not just the famous highlights, but also the **hidden gems, the secret viewpoints** you didn’t know you wanted on your **bucket list.**

Under the **midnight sun** or the dancing **Northern Lights**, whether by campfire or in the stillness of the mountains, magical moments are created in the Arctic. Together we walk, run, breathe, and feel our pulse rise – always with safety, care, and unforgettable nature experiences at the heart.

In addition to being a passionate guide, Erlend is also a keen **photographer**, capturing memories along the way so guests can take their experiences home. He speaks fluent **Norwegian** and **English**, and also some basic German.

**Tailor-Made Tours**

Whether you prefer a classic favorite hike or a unique new adventure – a long run, a campfire evening, or nature photography under the Arctic sky – Erlend will tailor the experience to your wishes. It’s all about challenge, tranquility, and good stories in the great outdoors.

**Sustainability & Responsibility**

Nature gives us so much, and we believe it is our responsibility to give back. Sustainability is a natural part of every experience we create – we minimize our footprint and follow the principle of *leaving nature better than we found it*.

## An Introduction to Our Name

**“Hei” is more than just a word.** In Northern Norway it’s a smile, a small nod – a sign of community. When we meet on a trail, in the mountains, or along the coast, we say “hei” – even if we don’t know each other. It’s about respect, about sharing the moment, and about being part of something greater.

**“Hei Tromsø”** is built on this very idea, the strong value of Arctic hospitality. We want to meet you with the same openness – whether you come from the other side of the world or are a local yourself. Through small groups, real encounters, and closeness to nature, we create experiences where you can feel belonging and calm.

The name **Hei Tromsø** represents a fellowship we invite you to be part of. It’s a place where we cheer each other on, say “hei” to new adventures – and show you Tromsø as we know it: close, genuine, and full of nature’s contrasts.

We say *hei* – and welcome you into nature.

Hei Tromsø
