Once you arrive at the camp, enjoy a 10 min// 30 min sleigh ride through the valley and along the picturesque coast, guided by reindeer and your Sami Guide.
You’ll also have the opportunity to feed a herd of 300 reindeer as they surround you, with some even eating directly from your hands. Additionally, you’ll learn how to throw a lasso – though not on real reindeer!
Then, step into the cozy traditional Sami tent for a delicious traditional Sami hot meal prepared over an open fire and warm drinks. A vegetarian option is also available.
