Tromsø: Snowmobiling at Camp Tamok

Your snowmobile adventure begins with a comfortable 90-minute bus transfer from Tromsø city center to the remote Tamokdalen Valley, where our wilderness camp is located. Upon arrival, your experienced guide will greet you and provide thermal suits, boots, and gloves to ensure you stay warm and comfortable in the Arctic winter. Before setting off, you’ll receive comprehensive safety instructions on how to operate your snowmobile, so you can explore with confidence. Follow your guide along scenic Arctic trails, passing by snowy mountains, frozen rivers, and peaceful valleys. Each snowmobile is shared by two people, and you’ll take turns driving and riding, with a midpoint break to switch drivers and enjoy the stunning surroundings. After your Arctic snowmobile tour, return to camp and relax in a traditional Sámi lavvu, a cozy indigenous tent. Enjoy a warm meal and hot drinks by the fire, sharing stories of your adventure with fellow travelers. During peak season, we may split the group to ensure a more private experience, with half starting their tour after a meal in the lavvu. At the end of the day, you’ll return to Tromsø by bus, taking home unforgettable memories of your Arctic adventure.
