What to expect

Step into the heart of Sámi culture on an authentic reindeer experience that brings you close to the animals, traditions, and stories of the Arctic. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through winter landscapes shaped by snow, silence, and Sámi heritage.

At the reindeer camp, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, personal atmosphere—far from crowds and staged tourism. Here you have the rare chance to feed the reindeer by hand. In winter, feeding is not a show but essential care that helps them through deep snow, ice, and harsh conditions. This is real Sámi life, shared respectfully with you.

You’ll learn about reindeer herding, family traditions, and the meaning of growing up with these animals. Warm up inside a traditional Sámi hut with a fire, hot berry juice, and a sweet snack as you listen to stories and reflect on the connection between nature, culture, and the Arctic.
