Reindeer Ride under the Arctic Sky Alta
★ 4.5 · 526 reviewsBy Sami Siida



Embark on Sami Siida's enchanting two-hour reindeer sled adventure, where you can chase the Northern Lights in the Arctic wilderness. Immerse yourself in Sami culture, surrounded by nature’s beauty and traditional stories around a warm bonfire.
This guided tour offers a magical experience as you glide through snow-covered landscapes in a reindeer-drawn sled. Listen to the rhythmic sound of the reindeers' hooves while witnessing the stunning Northern Lights dance above if conditions allow. Alternatively, enjoy a daytime ride and spot wildlife such as Norwegian moose. After the ride, relax by the bonfire inside a Lavvo (Sami tent), where Sami hosts share tales about their semi-nomadic culture and perform the traditional yoik, a unique form of Sami music.
Warm drinks and Masi cake are served to round off this unforgettable experience, giving you a taste of Sami hospitality. Whether under the glowing night sky or the crisp daylight, this adventure offers a perfect blend of culture, nature, and tradition.
