Sami experience in the UNESCO World heritage Laponia
Meet a Sami reindeer herder inside a traditional “lavvu” tent. We drink coffee, tea or chaga (old traditional health drink/tea from birch) that’s made over the open fire. Sit down on reindeer skin and just listen to stories from the past. Try singing “jojk” together with the Sami or take the opportunity to make good photos while you are close to the reindeers. Perhaps it is your “selfie of the year!”
