Reindeer Feeding and Sami Culture - Morning

This tour is operated by Tromsø Lapland.

The camp is located around 50 minutes from Tromsø city centre, surrounded by mountains and magnificent Arctic landscapes.

Here, you will meet a herd of more than 120 reindeer. You can feed the reindeer, see them up close and take memorable photos in peaceful, natural surroundings.

After visiting the reindeer, you will gather inside the lavvu, a traditional Sámi tent. Sámi guides will share stories about Sámi culture, traditions and everyday life as reindeer herders. You will also learn about traditional stories and how Sámi traditions are being passed on today.

A traditional Sámi lunch of bidos will be served. Bidos is a warming reindeer stew made with potatoes and carrots. A vegan option is also available, consisting of a Norwegian-style vegetable soup made with potatoes, swede, carrots, onion, leek, seasoning and stock. The soup is gluten-free.

This experience is suitable for both adults and children and offers a fascinating insight into Sámi culture and the traditional way of life in Northern Norway.
