Info

Description

Less than an hour from Tromsø city centre, our camp at Breivikeidet will take your breath away. In a valley surrounded by snowy mountain peaks, with the Lyngen Alps as a backdrop, our authentic Sami guides take you on a traditional 20-minute sled ride before you meet, feed and photograph the reindeer herd.

Afterwards you warm up with a traditional taste of Bidos — a hearty reindeer stew (vegan and gluten-free option available) — while our guides share centuries of Sami culture, stories and traditions. Come curious: they can't wait to hear your questions!
