Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Tromsø
Arrive to Tromsø Airport. After settling in at your hotel, you have the first part of the day to explore this charming Arctic city and its various attractions, including the Polar Museum, the Art Museum of Northern Norway, the Arctic Cathedral and the Fjellheisen cable car.

In the evening it’s time to leave the city lights behind for chance to enjoy some of the brightest northern lights in the world.* This guided tour into the wilderness also gives you a glimpse into the unique Sami culture as the guide tells tales of the local folklore and customs.

Spend the next three nights in central Tromsø.
* Please note that the northern lights (aurora borealis) are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Day 2: Arctic Transport at its Best
This is your chance to be a musher! Heading into the countryside after breakfast, you will learn the time-honoured Arctic tradition of dog-sledding with an experienced guide and a team of energetic huskies.

After a light lunch at the kennel and a brief lesson on how to handle your sled and dogs, you get to drive for an exhilarating 16 km-long ride through some of northern Norway’s most beautiful and uninhabited landscapes. Later, return to Tromsø to spend the rest of the evening as you wish.

Day 3: Snowmobile Safari & Auroras
Start the day by exploring Tromsø before your afternoon snowmobile tour. This excursion brings you up to heights of 875 metres above sea level with spectacular views of the Tromsø area. You might even have a chance to try your skills at ice fishing on the lake on top of the mountain, if time and weather permit.

From the tour’s final destination, the Camp Tamok wilderness area, you will have another opportunity to look for auroras while enjoying a hearty dinner in a lavvu, a traditional Sami tent, prepared by the guide. Afterwards, return to Tromsø.

Day 4: Departure Day
It’s time to head home after your short but action-packed break in Norway’s winter paradise. We recommend transferring by taxi (only a 10 minute ride) to Tromsø Airport in time for your flight to Oslo Gardermoen Airport, where you will fly onwards to your final destination.

Please note, if you do not have enough time between flights, an additional night in Oslo can be added to your package. Contact us for details.
