Tromsø: Reindeer Sledding & Visit to Tromso Ice Domes

Depart from the city center of Tromsø by bus and embark on this exciting adventure. After a 90-minute relaxing bus journey, you will enter the remote area Tamokdalen where our wilderness camp is located.

Upon arrival at Camp Tamok, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and outfitted with the essential gear including thermal suits, boots, and gloves, ensuring comfort and warmth for the day ahead, starting with the reindeer sledding experience.

As our reindeer herd is some distance away from the dog yard, this activity will start with a short transfer by minibus. This cultural adventure includes a short reindeer sledding tour, storytelling about the fascinating Sami culture and feeding of the reindeer. There are about 5-6 reindeer in the camp. 

After the tour, you will return to Camp Tamok and get to relax and warm up with a hot meal and drink by the open fire inside one of the lávvus(indigenous Sámi tent). During your meal, a camp host will inform you where and when you are expected for the second part of your activity: the visit to the Snow Sculpture Park. 

Enter the Park and discover the magic of the snow and ice sculptures. Wander around by yourself through a mesmerising display of snow and ice sculptures, a snow maze and explore our two domes. Marvel at the amazing art coming to life with light in its natural surroundings of pristine nature and peaceful Arctic landscapes. Get close to the two most iconic animals of Northern Norway: cuddle and take photos with our huskies and go visit the reindeers near the Snow Park.

After your visit to the Snow Park, your day at Camp Tamok and Tromsø Ice Domes has come to an end and it is time to board the bus and return to Tromsø, taking with you great memories of these authentic Arctic experiences and images of the magical snow art.
