A day with a reindeer herd is a phenomenal way to get up close to the semi-nomadic life of the Sámi people who practice reindeer herding. You will have the opportunity to take part in their everyday life as a herder.

Reindeer herding involves controlling the herd and getting them to graze. The herder must be able to anticipate the animals’ movements based on their knowledge of the reindeer’s natural behavior during different seasons.

In almost untouched Norwegian nature, you will be able to experience reindeer up close and be served traditional sámi food in a lavvo, a traditional sámi tent.

Forget about time, enjoy the sound of silence and feel the closeness to nature!

Weather can vary from freezing cold to brilliant sunshine, making this experience truly special. Dinner in our sami restaurant. Overnight stay in traditional lavvu, waking up among reindeers.
