Reindeer Sledding, Reindeer Feeding and Sami Culture - Tromsø Lapland
Description
Less than 1 hour from Tromsø city center our camp will take your breath away. Surrounded by the peaks that enclose our valley and with the Lyngen Alps as a background, our authentic Sami guides will take you on a 20 minute sled ride and then in the fence to meet our herd, feed it and make memories of a lifetime.
After a traditional taste of Bidos (vegan and gluten free option available) they will share their culture and stories with you. Come curious, they can’t wait to hear your questions!
This tour shares the same program as our 1pm departure, in case this is sold out we suggest you check the other activity!
IMPORTANT: the sled ride is subject to good snow conditions and sometimes we must adjust the duration of this activity. If the weather does not allow us to run the sled ride at all, we will offer you a partial refund. The rest of the tour will be held as normal.
