Activity description

Embark on a day-long adventure in the Arctic, combining a snowmobile safari, followed by a guided visit to the magical Ice Domes in Tromsø, and get up close with the festive and majestic reindeers! 

Combine an all-in-one 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. Treat yourself to a unique guided tour in this historic hotel during your stay in Tromsø! 

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 overalls, and follow a safety briefing and a practical demonstration for using the snowmobiles. Then, it is time to head out and set off for an unforgettable snowmobile safari in the Arctic wilderness!

You will ride through the breathtaking snow-covered mountains, along dramatic landscapes, and scenic valleys! Each snowmobile will be shared between two participants, one driver and one passenger, with the opportunity to switch places during the trip. The overall duration of the snowmobile safari depends on the weather and snow conditions of the day, and it could last from 1 hour to 2 hours. 

After the ride, you will relax by the roaring fire in a traditional reindeer herder's tent, and enjoy a delicious and locally produced warm meal. Once you've recharged, you will head to the Ice Domes, for a fascinating tour of the magical icy rooms. The hotel is entirely rebuilt each year out of ice, portraying some of the most typical Northern Norwegian and Arctic themes, including the Northern Lights, the Sami culture, and the wonderful Arctic animals.

Immerse yourself in the Arctic history, while taking in the fantastic coloured lighting in this unique setting. Learn some insights about the construction process of the domes, and the impact of the snow in the Arctic and enjoy  a non-alcoholic ice shot at the impressive ice bar! 

You will have some free time to explore the Ice Domes and meet the reindeers, right next to the Ice Hotel, before heading back to Tromsø. 

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

This was an excellent experience for a first-time snowmobiler. The guide was very clear with the operation instructions and was very attentive to the group out on the trail. We stopped at a nice spot to take pictures. Back at the camp, we had a nice lunch and hot beverages in a lavuu. The ice domes are amazing, such detailed carvings. The movie, which is about the construction of the domes, was very interesting.

Activité sympa, faire de la moto neige a été un très bon moment, ainsi que la visite des dômes de glace. Nous trouvons quand même l'activité très cher pour ce qu'il en est. Le circuit moto neige est un aller/retour, nous aurions aimé une boucle avec des paysages plus variés. L'heure de balade comprend la pause de 15/20 minutes de photos et explications sur la Norvège... L'activité est donc très cher pour le temps passé. Les dômes sont supers. Les rennes, nous avons été un peu déçu, il y avait 6 rennes dans un enclos, rien de plus.

The whole day was amazing, the snowmobiling was the highlight of course, really great instructor and the views as you went along was like being in Narnia. We were on the snowmobiles for about an hour which was a good amount of time. A lovely spot half way round to stop and rest and take in the views too. Lunch in the cabin was very cosy. The snow domes are well worth a visit, a huge amount of effort goes into making this! The reindeer part was slightly underwhelming as most are out doing the sledging, you literally see a handful of babies for 5 minutes or so. But still, nice to see them. My only gripe was having to pay adult prices for my two children as they didn’t get to drive the snowmobiles as they are under 18. There should be a cheaper price for under 18s as they are only passengers, not drivers but have to pay the same price.

It was ok. A little more sedate than I was expecting. More suitable for small children and the elderly.

Moto neige extrêmement simple à conduire ( d'autant plus si expérience moto ou quad préalable). Balade à faible allure en groupe à la queue leuleu.
