WINTER
SEASON IN NORDREISA
Winter ACTIVITIES
Majestic snowy mountains, frozen river and fishing lakes, cool icefalls, and the best snowmobile tracks in Norway. Loads of skiable powder snow for six months a year. Rich in wildlife, hidden far behind the Arctic Circle, under the northern lights, full of silence, darkness, special atmosphere, and solitude. This is how our remote and wild Reisa region could be described in winter. Welcome to the best Arctic winter playground!
We are ideally located in a wild, wide valley without any light pollution. This makes Reisa Valley one of the best Scandinavian locations to observe the Northern Lights. We offer special evening and night activities, during which you might be lucky to see the green dancing queen.

Snowshoeing is a fantastic way to experience the beautiful Reisadalen, whether in the forest or in the mountains. The advantage of snowshoes is that you don’t need any special skills to use them. You attach them to your winter shoes, and then you just have to set off. This way, you can explore otherwise inaccessible winter Nature full of fresh, deep powder snow.
Season: November – April
A combination of 2 extremely fun activities. Skiing and snowmobiling. Popular heliskiing is very limited in Norway, so powder-hungry skiers usually have to climb up the mountains using their own power. But driving the snowmobiles is literally part of the culture in our rough, cold region. This traditional way of transport will allow you to enjoy more amazing skiing lines in one day.
Season: February – April
Reisa Lodge offers not only family-friendly ice fishing trips in the beautiful Reisa valley but also truly unique talor-made Arctic ice fishing expeditions deeper in the surrounding wild mountains.
