Description - What to expect

After being picked up from Tromso city center, you’ll board a coach for a 25-minute drive to the reindeer camp, a traditional farm placed in Tromso’s frozen wastelands. On arrival, your local guide will introduce you to the traditional Sami lifestyle and culture and will make sure that you get a glimpse of life in the Arctic.

Your Tromso Reindeer sledding adventure starts with a reindeer feeding session. After getting used to these noble creatures, you’ll board a sled for an exciting sledding ride of approximately 15 minutes, enjoying the magnificent landscape around the frozen valley.

Next, you will get enough time around the fire, inside a warm candlelit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) to taste a hot traditional Sami soup cooked over the fire and warm up with steaming coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while listening to stories from ancient Sami culture. Your experience will be concluded with a Joik performance, an authentic Sami folk song.

Tromso Reindeer sledding concludes with a 25-minute ride back to central Tromso.
