Genuine Sámi Culture Experience - Borrat
Visit a Sámi winter residence, come and meet and feed reindeer. Enjoy a couple of hours spent gathered around the fire, where you can listen to a 'joik', the traditional Sámi way to musically tell a story and to remember the old ways.

Untill recent years, the Sámi did not have a written language and so storytelling is an important part of their culture. You will listen to tales from ancient times untill today around the campfire. Stories about reindeer, the eight seasons and things you may sense only when you are able to live close to nature.

Guests will be invited to taste the traditional reindeer-meat soup, called köttsoppa and gáhkku, the traditional bread from the Sámi kitchen, fresh boiled coffee and cake. During the winter season, you will encounter reindeer at close quarters. To hand-feed them is a real adventure. You can learn basic skills how to throw the lasso.

For an additional fee, it is possible to book a private tour. Please send us your request to info@jokkmokkarcticdream.se

What do I wear?

This tour is partly outdoors and partly int the typical Sámi tent the Lávvu.
We advice warm clothes while the experience is taking place in the coldest time of the year.
For the part inside the Lávvu by the open fire, it is warm but can still be a little fresh.
