About Uteguiden

Uteguiden was established by Oscar Almgren in 2012. Oscar came to Stranda in 2009 and immediately saw the area’s potential, based on previous experience with guiding and activities.

The last couple of years, the company has grown rapidly and Uteguiden AS now employs multiple guides full time through our high season winter  and summer.
