For ages, the Sami and their reindeer have inhabited and worked this territory, just recently opening their lives to visitors. At their encampment, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with a group of nearly 300 wild reindeer, some of whom will come close enough to eat from your hand. Following your encounter with the reindeer, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, candlelit traditional Sami hut known as a gamme for hot beverages and a serving of bidos, a typical Sami stew often served at weddings and other notable events, cooked directly on the open flame.
Post-lunch, you’ll be ushered into a lavvu (a Sami tent) to sit by the fire and hear tales of Sami culture and the realities of life as a reindeer herdsman. Your Sami host will also treat you to a rendition of a joik, a traditional form of Sami song.
