Listen to stories and joik songs around a campfire, ride in a traditional sled and feel the thrill of standing in a herd of wild reindeers that eat from your hands.
Travel out into the wilderness and walk among 300 reindeer (with the opportunity to feed them too) before enjoying a 15-20-minute sledding ride. Afterwards, enter a candlelit Gamme to enjoy a relaxed three-course meal followed by joiking (traditional Sami songs), Sami history and stories. On a clear night, you might be lucky enough to catch the majestic northern lights.
