Villmarkstur - Arctic adventures in the wild, beautiful, majestic nature

Villmarkstur (Wilderness Tours) is located on the fringes of the Arctic region. We base our adventure experiences on the enormous wilderness areas of the interior of Troms County in Northern Norway. Here, in the inland for several thousand years, the indigenous Saami populations have gathered their reindeer herds and utilized what the nature has provided. Villmarkstur takes individuals and groups of up to 15 people into these areas, which are rich in natural resources. We specialize in grouse hunting, fishing and hiking summer or winter.
