Sami Reindeer Sledding under the Northern Lights with Drinks & Snacks

About the Activity

What to Expect

Glide silently through the snowy Arctic landscapes of Alta, Norway on a magical evening reindeer sledding tour under the Northern Lights. Here, the glow of the aurora, untouched nature, and a peaceful winter atmosphere create a truly unforgettable experience. Begin your adventure bundled up in warm layers as you meet the majestic reindeer, and your gentle Sami guides you through this Arctic winter wonderland. The sled moves smoothly over the snow, and the soft crunch of hooves is the only sound, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serene surroundings illuminated by the dancing northern lights.

As you leave the forest behind, the open Arctic landscape unfolds around you, with snow-covered hills and vast panoramas stretching into the night. Keep your eyes on the sky as the northern lights shimmer and shift above, while breathing in the crisp, fresh Arctic air. The experience offers a unique perspective that only a reindeer sled can provide, perfect for capturing unforgettable moments and breathtaking photographs of the aurora.

At the end of your journey, retreat to a traditional Lavvo tent, where the warmth of a crackling fire welcomes you. Our knowledgeable Sami guides share captivating stories about their semi-nomadic lifestyle and the traditions of the north. Sip steaming coffee or tea by the fire and enjoy delicious cake, a true taste of Sami hospitality. The evening 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 lasting memories of an authentic reindeer sledding adventure under the northern lights in northern Norway.
