Across the Arctic with Huskies and Reindeer: A Sámi Safari

Adventure meets ancient tradition in this one-of-a-kind Arctic expedition. Begin your day with a private dog sledding journey led by a seasoned musher, racing across Tromsø’s pristine tundras behind a powerful team of Alaskan huskies. The silence of the snow-covered wilderness is broken only by the rush of sled runners as you glide through frosted pine forests and over icy plains.
Your destination: a remote Sámi reindeer camp, where a traditional welcome awaits. Here, you’ll meet an elder from the indigenous Sámi community, guardians of the Arctic’s oldest traditions. Around a crackling fire inside a lavvu (Sámi tent), listen to tales of ancestral wisdom, spiritual connections to the land, and the sacred bond with their reindeer herds. Savor Sámi delicacies such as bidos stew and lingonberry compote, lovingly prepared over open flames.
This journey is more than a winter excursion—it’s a deep cultural immersion into a way of life shaped by nature’s extremes. With every glide of the sled and every shared story, you’ll feel the pulse of a heritage that has endured for millennia.
