SUOHPAN

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the reindeer and the Sami people in our area. We'll take you to the Sami village of Rávttas where you will encounter Sami people, feed the reindeer, throw the lasso and make a shorter ride with the reindeer sled in the forest.

We will give you insight in the traditional life of the mountain Sami in this fantastic landscape classified as Natura2000 by the EU. The rich biodiversity in the area is a prerequisite for reindeer, moose and other animals. Here our ancestors lived as nomads and eventually built small houses near the railway. Rávttas is now the home of several Sami families with reindeer in the area. Some of our reindeer are fed and cared for in corrals during the wintertime. You'll get close to them and the tame ones will eat from your hand. You can learn how to throw the lasso like a reindeer herder. After some instruction everyone can go for a ride with the reindeer sled around the track. You will notice that there are different reindeer characters! Some are lazy and some like to compete... 

After the ride we will walk back through the forest and enjoy our lunch with ecological, smoked and fried reindeer meat (suovas), bread and coffee in the hut. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and listen to stories as we relax around the fire.
