Sledding, snowmobiles & Samis
Dogsledding is extremely popular in the Alta area. The city is host to one of the world’s longest dogsled races. This morning you’ll spend in the company of the fantastic Alaskan huskies. The kids will learn the commands of the Norweigan mushers before embarking across the Arctic Wilderness on your sled.
This afternoon a Snowmobile expedition will take you across the beautiful Finnmark Plateau wilderness before arriving at a traditional Sami Lavvu Camp. You’ll spend time with the Sami tribe people as they herd their reindeer, preparing them for seasonal migration. You’ll get a rare insight into Sami way of life as you camp in a lavvo (Sami tent) for the evening. For thousands of years the people of northern Scandinavia lived a semi-nomadic herding lifestyle. The Sami culture and history is fascinating, they are extremely proud to share their stories with you.
