Northern Lights & Reindeer Sledding

Season Information

01. NOVEMBER - 31. MARCH

Information

Crackling snow and clear night-time sky printed with green waves from the Northern Lights enjoyed from a sled being gently pulled by a reindeer. This genuine winter adventure is what we will do our best to give you on this tour.

We would also like to give you the opportunity to become better acquainted with the Sámi culture and join a pleasant and fun Reindeer Sledding and look out for the Northern Lights at the same time.

The Sámi are the indigenous people of the North and our Sámi guide would like you to get to know his culture better, both past, present and future, through tasting some typical Sámi food, seeing and learning about Sámi artifacts and hearing stories and the joik (traditional Sámi song).

The Reindeer Sledding is an important part of the experience as the oldest known form of transport in the north and central part of the Sámi culture. The sledding takes place as a "raid" where each reindeer and sled are bound together in a long row with the lead reindeer in the front.

By taking part in this evening excursion we hope you will be charmed by the fascinating reindeer and find that you love our gentle but curious and furry creatures just like we do - Our true hero in the Arctic
