About the Activity

What to Expect

Glide silently through the snowy Arctic landscape of Alta, Norway on a magical morning reindeer sledding tour, where authentic Sami culture, untouched nature, and a truly peaceful winter experience await you. Begin your adventure bundled up in warm layers as you meet the majestic reindeer, your gentle guides through this enchanting winter wonderland. The sled moves smoothly over the snow, and the rhythmic crunch of hooves is the only sound, creating a serene atmosphere that lets you fully absorb the stunning surroundings.

Leaving the forest behind, you enter wide open Arctic landscapes, where snow-covered hills and vast panoramas stretch as far as the eye can see. Watch for signs of wildlife, such as the Norwegian moose, breathe in the crisp, fresh air, and enjoy the unique perspective that only a reindeer sled can provide, a journey full of unforgettable moments and photographic opportunities.

At the end of your adventure, retreat to a traditional Lavvo tent, where the welcoming warmth of a crackling fire awaits. Our knowledgeable Sami guides share captivating stories and offer insights into their semi-nomadic lifestyle. Sip steaming bonfire coffee or tea and savor delicious cake, an authentic taste of Sami hospitality. The tour concludes with the soulful sound of traditional yoik, a Sami chant passed down through generations, leaving you with a deep connection to Arctic life and cherished memories of an authentic reindeer sledding experience in northern Norway.
