They do. In the northernmost part of Norway, they walk from the inland plain
to the coast, freighted by boats/small ships to the islands to graze all
summer. When summer is ending they SWIM back to the mainland, with boats
standing by to help stragglers. They are in much better shape than in the
spring :-)

There's also reindeer herding in the southern mountains, less movement but
they have to be watched all the time so they don't join the herds of wild
reindeer.
