The realm of the reindeer

Experience reindeer in the mountains!

The tour takes us through typical grazing areas for domesticated reindeer in Jotunheimen. Partly along trails, leading to lovely grasslands and some rugged terrain. When we spot reindeer, we take our time observing the animals from a distance and learn how humans have depended on reindeer for thousands of years – right up to today, where the last wild reindeer population is under significant pressure. Watching and moving alongside these graceful creatures in their domain creates a special connection to the past, as well as an understanding of sustainable food production from mountain resources today.

Tour info: Guided tour with a high chance of seeing reindeer. Easy mountain walk, but partly rugged terrain. Elevation gain between 300 and 600 metres, with walking time of 3–5 hours depending on where the reindeer are.
