Embark on a day-long adventure in the Arctic, experiencing an authentic reindeer sledding ride, followed by a visit to the magical Ice Domes Snow Park in Tromsø. Welcoming adventurers of ages 4 and up!

Combine an all inclusive package, for a fulsome day in the winter wonderland of Northern Norway, situated north of the Arctic Circle. Set among the high mountains, and a snow-covered valley, the Ice Domes are home to some incredible ice sculptures and impressive snow carvings.

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from the city center in Tromsø, where you will embark on a 90-minute scenic ride to the wilderness centre, admiring the mesmerising landscapes and white-washed mountains of the Arctic. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your guide, and set off to the Sami camp by minibus. You will then meet the Indigenous reindeer herders, and try the most traditional form of transport in the North, reindeer sledding!

Along the way, your Sami guide will introduce you to lasso throwing, share some stories and insights about the ancient Sami culture and their connection to the reindeers, and let you feed the friendly and adorable reindeers from up close.

After the excursion, you will relax by the roaring fire in a traditional lavvu, and enjoy a delicious and locally produced warm meal. Once you've recharged, your adventure will continue towards the Snow Sculpture Park where you will discover the magic of the snow and ice sculptures. Wander around the mesmerising displays of snow and ice sculptures, and a snow maze and explore the two domes. Marvel at the amazing art coming to life with light in its natural surroundings of pristine nature and peaceful Arctic landscapes. You will also have some free time to cuddle with the huskies near the Snow Park before heading back to Tromsø.

Book your Ice Domes Visit, and combine your day with a traditional reindeer sledding ride, and meet the majestic and festive reindeers, important to the Arctic region and Tromsø!

Reindeer sledding: The reindeer sledding was very slow but nice and relaxing, and it was fun to see the reindeer. We even got to lead the reindeer out to the sleds! I also really liked learning about Sami culture. The description said there would be an introduction to lasso throwing, but somehow we didn't get that part. We had to take a snowmobile out to the reindeer which was fine for me, but it was rough for my dad (because he's taller than me and his feet kept hitting the snowbanks). Experience overall was great. Lunch: Tasty! Good stew and bread, and I loved the berry drink. Ice domes: So pretty! Great sculptures. I almost wish I'd opted to do the experience where you stay a night in the domes, they seemed so cool.

The sledges, without backrest were not comfortabel. The Ice Domes were really amazone, but about 15 minutes was to short. For this experience, the bustrip from and to Tromsø was disapointing long.
