For many generations, the Sami and reindeer have inhabited this region, only recently opening their daily existence to visitors. You’ll have the opportunity to visit their settlement and interact with a horde of around 300 wild reindeer, some of whom will feed directly from your hand. Following this, you’ll be welcomed for warm beverages by a fire in a warmly lit gamme (an indigenous Sami shelter), where a casual three-course meal including a traditional Sami stew cooked over the fire, known as bidos, will be served.
After your meal, you will be ushered into a lavvu (Sami canvas dwelling) to sit around the fire and hear tales about Sami life and the experiences of a reindeer herder. The guide, a Sami by origin, will perform a joik, a customary Sami melody, for you. If conditions permit and the sky is unclouded, you might get to witness the remarkable northern lights above the reindeer settlement.
