Discover the captivating culture and traditions of the Sami people in Kautokeino, the heartland of the Sami people
Embark on a snowmobile journey through the heart of Sápmi – from Alta to the Sami town of Kautokeino.
Travel across the vast and breathtaking Finnmarksvidda, where endless white landscapes meet Arctic skies. Accompanied by your local guide, you'll explore untouched wilderness and learn about the traditions and stories that live in this region.
In Kautokeino, you’ll experience authentic Sami culture up close – from traditional handicrafts to storytelling by the fire. One of the highlights of the tour is visiting a reindeer herder, where you’ll meet the animals and gain insight into the age-old connection between the Sámi people and their reindeer. The northern lights often dance across the sky here in winter, adding a magical touch to an already unforgettable adventure.
The experience can be done in three different months and periodes.
February
Frozen silence dominates the landscape. Deep snow blankets the plateu. The sun returns with golden light. Cold, crisp air and northern lights above create a raw, untouched Arctic wilderness experience.
March
Brighter days stretch longer. Snow glistens under a higher sun. Wildlife tracks appear more frequently. Stillness and solitude meet sunlight, offering ideal conditions for exploration and cultural immersion on the plateau.
April
Spring whispers through the Arctic. Days grow warm and bright. Reindeer herds move across the tundra. Snowmobiling becomes smoother, and the landscape opens into endless white plains under a radiant sky.
May
The snow begins to melt. Streams reappear, and the tundra awakens. Reindeer calves are born. Experience the transition from winter to spring, with vibrant skies and softening trails across open land.
