- Karasjok - We start the day by picking up our guests at their designated pick-up point before driving towards the starting point of the experience (approx. 5-min ride from Karasjok).
Before switching from our car to a snowmobile, we dress up properly with suits, helmets and other items you need to keep warm. We continue by snowmobile through a beautiful landscape to our herd, a 10 minutes long ride. If there is little snow, then we will go with the ATV instead. When we arrive, you can sit on a reindeer hide outside, and relax and enjoy the moment fully, and after a while you can join us around the bonfire, where we will tell you everything we know about reindeer calving. We will serve you broth and fresh coffee, brewed traditionally on an open fire, and you will even get to taste dried reindeer meat. During this adventure you will also get the opportunity to feed the reindeer.
By visiting us, you will get to see the reindeer herd close up, and if you are lucky, you might even see reindeer giving birth. You will learn a lot about our traditions and our culture - and this sure is - a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

From May 15th to June 15th, we continuously monitor our female reindeers giving birth, ensuring they are safe from threats such as eagles, bears, wolverines, lynxes, and even crows. Our visitors are provided with a close encounter with the reindeer herd, and are sometimes fortunate enough to witness a birth. You’ll glean a wealth of knowledge about our customs and way of life - indeed, a unique experience.
Welcome to our one-of-a-kind adventure at our reindeer birthing facility here in Karasjok, Northern Norway. The journey to the birthing site is a remarkable experience rarely accessed by many, given its singular and unparalleled nature in Norway, to our knowledge.
