Experience the Sami Culture

Come and join us for a fantastic day and get to know the Sami culture.

The Sámi are an indigenous people living on Europe’s northern extremes. They are renowned for herding reindeer, for distinctive handicrafts (duodji) and for their affinity with nature. On this excursion you will meet one of the families whose reindeer are at summer pasture on the Nordkyn peninsula. They invite you to a close and evocative encounter around the fire in their sami tent (lavvu), while reindeer graze outside. The family are reindeer herders, artisans and heralds of Sámi traditions. They will give you an insight into the challenges that reindeer herders and Sami culture are facing today. Through stories, chanting (joik), handicrafts and the serving of reindeer broth you will get a taste of Sámi culture.
