ACTIVITIES

SAMI CULTURE

This tour is for those who prefer to absorb themselves deeper in the Sami culture. Between 75.000 to 100.000 Sámi people live in the Arctic regions of Norway, Finland, Sweden and Russia.

You now have the unique possibility to meet a Sámi family in their winter camp just outside Jokkmokk, close to the Arctic Circle. Here you can spend a couple of relaxing hours for all your senses, listen to the sparkling fire while you enjoy traditional Sami food and hot steaming coffee. Take part of the joik, the traditional Sami way to musically tell a story and to remember the old ways. As an art form, each joik is meant to reflect or evoke a person, animal, or place.

In the coral the reindeer will meet you curiously and you will be able to feed them and get really close. With some luck you might also get to view the Northern lights. A genuine gathering around the fireplace in the lávvu (tent house) where you will learn about Sami culture and art. A truly unique experience!
