The Dog-Sledding Adventure:  You´ll drive the dog sled by yourself into the white landscapes, through the beautiful Vass valley- an uninhabited forest landscape surrounded by majestic mountains. Upon arrival at our wilderness camp, you´ll receive outdoor clothes and shoes to keep you warm during your stay. You will get instructions on how to drive a dog sledding team by experienced mushers. 

You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each sled, with the opportunity to switch places half way. The trails you follow have a total distance of approximately 10-12 km, and you will be on the sled for about 1,5-2 hours. At the end of the trail you will return to Camp, where you will be served a hot meal and fresh coffee in the dining Lavvu.

In the evening, you will be transferred from city center to Camp Tamok for your overnight stay and Northern Light activities. The camp is therefore located in a different climate zone. Here, you find stable dry weather with many days of clear sky. Due to the stable climate of this location the persistent Aurora watcher will have excellent chances of spotting the frail rays of this beauty. Also, in this uninhabited area, no artificial light will disturb your experience or your attempt to capture the Aurora Borealis with your camera. The guide will focus specifically on sharing tips and techniques on how to photograph the Aurora.

During the visit you will be served a hot meal and enjoy a social time by the open fire in the big Lavvu (Sami herdsmen’s tent). The excursion includes a 2 kilometer hike through the valley at night-time. If the sky is cloudy or there is no sign of the Northern Lights, you will head off on a Northern Lights chase by minibus. There are several hotspots within a short driving distance from the camp.

After Breakfast at Camp, you will be transferred directly to Reindeer Sledding Excursion, starting at approx. 10.30

Reindeer sledding is the oldest form of transport in the north, and an ancient part of Sami culture. People of all ages can participate on this very “soft” adventure. This cultural adventure includes trying lasso-throwing, the way the Sami people still today catch their reindeers when they are rounded up for marking or slaughter. Also, you will learn about Sami culture and history.

You will be driving in pairs, with one sled for each reindeer. To conclude this excursion, you will be served a hot meal. Daytime trips give you an amazing view of the wild mountains in the area. Return back to Tromsø city center and check in at your hotel.
