Overnight in Lavvo, Reindeer Feeding and Reindeer Sledding with Chance of Northern Lights

Try the oldest vehicle from the arctic, feed our reindeer herd, spend the night in a Lavvo tent, just as our ancestors did, and enjoy the arctic landscape in this overnight tour while the northern lights might dance above you!

Get to know our herd of 200 reindeer and join on a up to 30 minute sled ride while enjoying the beautiful nature around us and the wonderful night sky from the north!

 You will be picked up outside Radisson Blu Hotel in Tromsø: just look for the guide wearing a blue Luhkka (traditional Sami poncho) and a bus with a big SLEDDING sign. Our guides will provide you with bracelets to indicate you will take part in the sled ride.

After checking in with our guide, you will hop on a 45 minutes’ drive to our camp. On your way, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful Northern Norwegian mountains and upon arrival, you will be greeted by our Sami guide who will give a brief safety introduction and guide you to your activity!

Part of the group will join the sled ride right away. On a circuit of 2.5km, immersed in Northern Norway breathtaking nature, you will try the oldest mean of transportation and feel like a real Sami in the Tundra! Then it will be time for the second group to take part in this lovely and ancient activity.

After the sled tour, you will head towards the fence and feed our lovely reindeers (many of the reindeer will even eat from your hand!).

According to Saami people, the northern lights have a sound. Sit quiet and listen: maybe you can hear it too! We can’t predict when lady aurora shows up, but we are lucky to have a location with very little light pollution and beautiful nature to experience this phenomenon in all its splendour!

Right after, it is time for dinner. We will gather in our Gamme (a modern interpretation of a traditional Sami hut) or the Lavvu (a traditional Sami tent, much like a Tipi) for a hot drink and a warm tasty Biddos, our traditional Sami stew with Reindeer meat, potatoes and carrots. We also offer a vegan alternative, a veggie soup with lentils, carrots, broccoli and green beans.

When we are all settled and comfortable, our Sami guide will tell you more about the Sami culture and history, they will show you some of our traditional handicrafts and clothes too. There will be also time for questions, feel free to participate and ask our guide!

At the end of the tour, when the rest of the group heads back to Tromsø, you will be accompanied to your tent where you will learn how to keep yourselves warm through the night, just like it has been done for centuries, in what we call “hot tent camping”. Now you can get comfortable and unwind at our camp, in front of a fire pit in our small Gamme, in your Lavvo or under stars!


*Each tent has space for 1 to 4 travellers. The set up is two queen sized beds separated by the wooden stove.

*Solo travellers may share the tent with a second traveller.
