Top Norway Christmas Tours

Celebrate the holiday season in Norway during December with this walking tour of Oslo. When Christmas comes to town, the city fills with markets, decorations, and holiday cheer. Your local guide will join you for this festive tour to Karl Johans gate where you’ll visit the Christmas markets and learn about Norway’s holiday traditions. Sip mulled wine, taste porridge, and embrace the Christmas season.

Traveling by dog sled is the quintessential way to see the Arctic wilderness, but it takes some practice. This small-group tour from Tromsø teaches you how to control your sled and mush your own team of huskies. Afterward, enjoy cake and a warm drink in the lavvu (traditional Sámi tent).

Check snowmobiling above the Arctic Circle off your bucket list on a tour from Tromsø. Head deep into Norway’s epic nature, landing at the serene Camp Tamok, then buckle up and head out across snow-covered mountains to Lake Finn. After the ride, enjoy a warm meal in a traditional lavvu.

Get out of the city and trek through Tromsø’s snowy surrounding landscapes on a guided snowshoe walk. Travel from Tromsø city center to the island’s top, follow trails through forests and hills, and enjoy stops for photos and local insights. Warm up with a hot drink and traditional Norwegian snack during the walk.

Norwegians have been ice fishing in their crystalline fjords for millennia, and with this experience, but even if you're brand new to the practice, you can try your hand at landing a prize catch in the frozen waters of the Ullsfjord just like a local. Cast your line and then head to basecamp with what you’ve caught to learn how to clean and cook it, Norwegian style. Hear about local traditions and enjoy views of the Lyngen Alps before heading back to Tromsø.
