Wild roaming Reindeer feeding - morning experience

STARTING TIME: 08:00 a.m.                                                                        

DURATION: 6 hours

Embark on an unforgettable cultural experience that takes you deep into the Sámi way of life in the far north. This intimate reindeer encounter is guided by a family rooted in traditional herding - with knowledge, stories, and skills passed down through generations.

Meet free-roaming reindeer in their natural winter landscape and learn how the Sámi maintain their connection to the land and animals through every season. You will gain insight into the cultural importance of reindeer, the challenges of modern herding, and the deep respect that guides Sámi people in caring for their animals and environment.

Heavy snow, ice layers, and rapid climate changes make it difficult for reindeer to access their natural grazing. This makes it essencial to feed the reindeer in winter, while during the summer they live free up in the mountains. Winter feeding is therefore an important part of responsible herding and a real part of Sámi daily life, not a performance.

This experience offers a rare glimpse into a way of life that has survived in one of the world’s harshest yet most beautiful environments. Through stories, traditions, and close encounters with the reindeer, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of Sámi culture and the strength and resilience behind it.
