Camp Tamok: Tromso Ice Domes Visit & Wilderness Experience

Important update 17.02.25: 

Due to an unusually warm winter with high temperatures and extreme weather conditions, including storms and heavy rainfall, a significant part of the Snow Park is damaged and is currently closed while undergoing construction. To compensate for this unfortunate occurrence and to enhance your experience, a guide will accompany you inside our two domes instead.

The tour will begin with 1,5 hours bus ride from Tromsø to the remote Tamok Valley. Upon arrival at the camp, you can freshen up and get geared up in the warm winter clothes and boots we provide, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable throughout your stay at the camp. 

Our camp host will guide you through the day's program. 

Divided into smaller groups you will participate in a variety of engaging experiences, some accompanied by a guide, others to explore independently. 

Campfire Crafting:  

Learn the essential survival skills from your knowledgeable guide as you partake in the art of crafting a campfire, essential for staying comfortable on a cold winter's day. Master the art of starting an outdoor fire yourself and gather around its warmth and light while you immerse yourself in captivating stories about the local lifestyle and the rich culture of the Arctic region. Grill your own sausage on the open fire while we will serve a warm soup and hot berry juice keeping you warm and cozy outdoors. 

Snow Adventures:  

Get ready to get active and try navigating through the snow-covered terrain on tandem skis. Race the other team for an extra dose of excitement. Learn about the history and evolution of skis as a traditional way of transport and the sport of skiing in Norway. 

Visit Tromsø Ice Domes:

Explore our two domes together with your guide and learn about the construction process and the importance of snow and ice for those living in remote places such as Tamokdalen. Admire the sculptures created by our talented ice-artists and get a delicious non-alcoholic ice shot at our ice bar inside one of the domes, as well as a taste of local cheese with jam made from wild berries.

Encounters with Arctic Wildlife:  

Get close to the two most iconic animals of Northern Norway: cuddle and take photos with the huskies and go visit the reindeer herding near the Snow Sculpture Park.

After a fulfilling day outdoors, we'll ensure your safe return to Tromsø, with a comfortable bus journey back taking approximately 1,5 hours.
