Reliable, all-season protection for demanding conditions. The Tarra prioritises strength, space, and adaptability for remote or exposed environments.

Hilleberg says: 

The idea behind the Tarra was to create a kind of hybrid “tunnel dome” model, with a tunnel tent’s usable roominess and the static strength of a dome. The resulting boxy inner tent has near vertical walls, while the four pole structure boasts five crossing points for an exceptionally strong structure. Like its “big brothers,” the four-person Saitaris and the three- and four-person Saivo, the two-person Tarra is simple to pitch, makes a fine base camp tent, and is fully capable of taking on the most challenging weather. So, as with the Saitaris and Saivo, the Tarra is often the choice of mountain climbers, and ski or paddle tourers. But its simplicity, strength and roominess also make it quite popular with travellers who take extended trips in remote, rugged locales, and with backcountry walkers, especially those who enjoy travelling in unruly conditions.

“Tarra” describes a steep cliff in Sami, the language of the people indigenous to northern Scandinavia.

Our Verdict

At 4095g (excluding pegs and bags), the Tarra is a freestanding two-person shelter designed for serious use across all seasons. Its dome-tunnel hybrid structure with five pole intersections and Kerlon 1800 fabric delivers excellent snow loading and wind stability, particularly when well guyed. With two vestibules, entry and gear storage are flexible, and the vertical inner walls maximise usable space. While interior storage is basic, the comfort and protection offered in poor weather are standout features. The setup is efficient, with the inner and outer pitching together.

As part of Hilleberg’s Black Label range, the Tarra is built to the brand’s highest standard, prioritising strength, durability, and versatility. Every detail, from fabric selection to pole configuration, is chosen for long-term reliability in exposed, alpine, or high-latitude terrain. A proven choice for those who need a tent that can handle whatever the environment throws at it.

Features

  • Kerlon 1800 outer tent fabric and 10 mm poles make for an exceptionally strong and stable tent.
  • All season construction: outer tent walls extend to the ground and mesh areas are backed with adjustable fabric panels.
  • Dome construction with multiple pole crossing points provide outstanding snow-load handling capability.
  • Plenty of room for two occupants and their gear.
  • Linked but separable inner and outer tent for simultaneous pitching.
  • Self-supporting dome design requires only the vestibules to be pegged, and the straightforward short sleeve and clip pole system make for quick, easy set up.
  • Dual entrances and vestibules ensure that one door can always be situated out of the wind and provide flexible entry/exit and storage options.
  • An optional footprint covers the entire area of the outer tent, including the vestibules. It connects directly to the tent, and can be left attached during pitching.
  • The outer and inner tents can be used separately. Pitching the inner tent alone requires optional pole holders (see accessories).
