Sámi Culture Husky Sledding and Snowmobiles
Reindeer broth and herbal tea are included at the village, but a full lunch is an optional extra booked in advance.
This one-day programme combines a Sámi village visit with husky and reindeer sledding and a snowmobile session, with return transport from Murmansk included. Inside a chum, guests hear stories by the fire, join Sámi games, feed reindeer and meet the sled dogs, with reindeer broth and herbal tea served during the visit. The day includes an 800-metre husky-sled ride and a 600-metre reindeer-sleigh ride, plus a 30-minute snowmobile session with two guests sharing one machine, equipment and a safety briefing included. English-speaking accompaniment runs throughout. The programme runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays from December to April, lasting about six hours.
Your tour programme
Arrival and Sámi village
Guests travel from Murmansk to the Sámi village venue on the included return transport. At the village, staff welcome the group for a cultural visit built around a chum, where there are stories told by the fire and traditional Sámi games. Warm outerwear is provided for the time spent at the venue.
Reindeer broth and herbal tea are served during the visit, giving guests a break between the cultural programme and the sledding and snowmobile activities.
Reindeer and husky encounters
Guests feed the reindeer and meet the sled dogs, with time for photos. A 600-metre reindeer-sleigh ride is included when snow permits, usually from around 1 December, and an 800-metre husky-sled ride is part of the standard programme.
Snowmobiling
The 30-minute snowmobile session pairs two guests to one machine. Equipment and a safety briefing are provided, and participation and driving requirements — such as whether both guests take turns driving or one rides as passenger — are confirmed before booking.
Language and meal options
English-speaking accompaniment is provided for the group throughout the day. The language used by venue staff and for instruction during the husky, reindeer and snowmobile activities is confirmed separately when booking.
Beyond the included reindeer broth and herbal tea, a full lunch (salad and hot soup) can be added as an optional extra. Dietary requirements and allergies should be flagged before booking, especially if adding this option.

Meeting and preparation
Your meeting point
We confirm the meeting point and departure time for this programme before booking. Tell us where you are staying when you send your request.
Before you go
- Decide and confirm the snowmobile driving arrangement before booking — whether each guest in the pair drives in turn or one rides as a passenger — since two guests share one machine.
- Dress in layers for outdoor winter conditions. Warm outerwear is provided for the village visit, but your own thermal base layers, gloves and winter boots will help for the snowmobile portion.
- Tell the organisers about any dietary needs or allergies in advance, particularly if you plan to add the optional lunch.
- If travelling with children, share their ages and your priorities before booking so the venue's participation rules for husky, reindeer and snowmobile activities can be checked.
- Confirm pickup time and the full six-hour schedule, including riding times, when you book, since these are set at that point rather than fixed in advance.

Sámi village, husky sledding and snowmobiling near Murmansk
This winter day trip from Murmansk combines the Sámi cultural programme with husky sledding, reindeer encounters and a snowmobile activity. The visit includes stories by the fire in a chum, games, reindeer feeding, broth and herbal tea. Snow conditions determine whether the reindeer-sleigh ride can run.
Compared with single-activity day tours, this programme combines Sámi cultural time, husky sledding, reindeer sledding and snowmobiling into one scheduled group departure. The snowmobile session is shared two guests per machine, and the reindeer-sleigh ride depends on early-season snow cover, so guests weighing this against a narrower, single-activity tour should factor in how many separate experiences they want from one six-hour day.
