Discover the magical Nordic wilderness by snowshoe, and visit the amazing Ice Domes Snow Park in Tromsø while getting up close with the majestic and festive reindeers!

Combine an all inclusive package, for a fulsome day in the winter wonderland of Northern Norway, situated north of the Arctic Circle. Set among the high mountains, and a snow-covered valley, the Ice Domes are home to some incredible ice sculptures and impressive snow carvings.

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from the city center in Tromsø, where you will embark on a 90-minute scenic ride, admiring the mesmerising landscapes and white-washed mountains of the Arctic. Upon arrival, you will receive warm winter clothing, the snowshoes, and a safety briefing. Once you're well equipped, you will set off on your snowshoe adventure, hiking through the snowy covered trails in the Norwegian wilderness. For the daring ones, you may follow the deeper snowy paths and challenge yourself to a more demanding trekking adventure.

Along the way, your guide will teach you some Arctic wilderness survival strategies and skills, which are essential in the Arctic Circle. You will learn how to set up a camp and sleep outdoors, what to eat, how to spot animal tracks, and how to find your way home. You will then make a stop and light up a campfire to enjoy a delicious and homemade meal while you take in the stillness of the overall scenery, set far away from the city. If the weather does not allow it, you will prepare the meal in a heated lavvu instead.

Once you've recharged, you will head to the Ice Domes Snow Park and discover the magic of the snow and ice sculptures. Wander around the mesmerising displays of snow and ice sculptures, and a snow maze and explore the two icy domes. Marvel at the amazing art coming to life with light in its natural surroundings of pristine nature and peaceful Arctic landscapes.

You will also have some free time to meet the reindeers, right next to the Snow Park, before heading back to Tromsø.

Book your Ice Domes Visit, and combine your day with a snowshoeing excursion, and meet the festive reindeers, important to the Arctic region and Tromsø!

We were welcomed by our very friendly tourguide when we arrived at the ice domes. With a small group (7) we started our wilderness snow shoes skills hike. All of the equipment and the thermo overalls were given to us right before we stared our hike. Our tourguide told us a lot about the wildlife and nature while we walked trough the snow and the beautiful landscape. We were greeted by some super cute and happy huskies who were part of the husky sledding group. During our walk we stopped to sit by a fire and enjoyed some hot chocolate and (vegetarian) sausages. After our hike we visited the ice domes and ended the tour with a shot of wodka with our tourguide.

Wir haben eine Schneeschuhwanderung gemacht. Wir hatten Glück und waren nur in einer kleinen Gruppe, d. h. wir zu Zweit und ein weiterer Teilnehmer. Wir waren alle Anfänger, aber der Guide hat darauf sehr viel Rücksicht genommen, eine einfache Tour ausgewählt und sobald er merkte, daß jemand nicht mehr konnte, hat er eine Pause gemacht. Es wurde und zwischendurch immer noch viel zur Natur und zum Feuermachen erklärt. Wir hatten ein längere Pause am Lagerfeuer in der Natur und haben Würstchen gegrillt. Dann ging es mit einem kurzen Abstecher bei den Rentieren vorbei wieder zurück ins Camp. Nach einer kurzen Pause durften wir dann noch das Eishotel besichtigen, was wirklich beeindruckend war! Uns hat besonders gut gefallen, dass man bei dieser Aktivität ausreichend Zeit hatte, alles auf sich wirken zu lassen, es wurde uns viel erklärt und wir konnten viele Fragen stellen. Man würde nicht schnell abgefertigt, wie bei anderen Aktivitäten, die wir bei anderen Veranstaltern gebucht hatten.

Globalement ce fut une très belle journée :) le coup de cœur a été la randonnée en raquette en petit groupe et le fait de faire du feu en pleine nature pour faire le déjeuner. Célia a été géniale comme guide ! Juste dommage que la randonnée en elle même ne soit pas plus longue. Toutefois grosse déception sur la visite des rennes qui se résume à l’observation de loin de 5 rennes dans un enclos et trop de monde lors de la visite du ice dôme qui contraste avec le côté authentique du lieu et la dimension intimiste de la randonnée.

Die Schneeschuhtour ist leider viel zu kurz, wir waren noch nicht mal richtig warm gelaufen, als wir Pause machten und mitten im Weg ein Lagerfeuer entfachten.

Il s’agit plus d’une initiation qu’une vraie randonnée en raquettes. On n’a pas marché tant que ça mais c’était suffisant pour le niveau que j’avais. Les rennes sont dans un enclos, c’est dommage on aurait aimé les voir de plus près. La visite dans le dôme était très bien.
