Here at the heart of Sápmi you can become a reindeer herder for a day. You can ride a reindeer sleigh alone in the winter landscape, feed the reindeer and eat delicious food. You are invited to be a part of the real life of the Sámi people. A professional reindeer herder will introduce you to his reindeer herd in his native environment.
We are a reindeer herding family in Swedish lapland. We live and operate in the northern Sweden, middle of the Torneträsk-Soppero primeval forest which is located north of Kiruna city. We are an indigenous people in Europe and the Nordic countries. The area that has historically been inhabited by our ancestors for generations is called Sápmi and includes northern part of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Our goal for you is to have a genuine experience with us, in our everyday life.
You can become a reindeer herder for a day. You get to accompany the Sámi reindeer herder during his everyday life as he feeds his reindeer herd and looks after them. You can go reindeer sledding, pulled by the reindeer in the wonderful winter landscape far north of the Arctic Circle. * (You can go reindeer sledding alone or with a guide. The trail is one kilometer long.) One hour fifteen minutes after you have left the urban life behind you, you will find yourself in a completely different environment where the reindeer is in the center. This is a region where humans are few and the animals reign. Your stay may be memorable, restful and at the same time refreshing for body and soul. Something to take with you into the future. (We have a cold limit of minus 27 degrees at the activity location. If it is colder than minus 27 degrees, we have to cancel the tour for your safety)
