Utsjoki is Reindeer country. The Sami people, who are the indigenous people of Lapland, have been in this area for many thousands of years and they have been doing Reindeer Husbandry for many hundreds of those years. So who better to visit if you want to learn about the Sami and Reindeers? We’ll visit a local Reindeer farmers family. Here you can get up close to the Reindeer and hand feed them lichen, which is a Reindeers natural food that they eat in the wilderness. You will also enjoy a small Reindeer sleigh ride through a beautiful snow covered pine forest. It’s like a scene straight out of the Frozen movie. After the Reindeer feeding and sleigh ride, you will enter the warm fire hut where you will hear about the Reindeer farmers way of life and the Sami way of life. You will also sample some local delicacies. After this you can try your hand with a lasso and see if you have what it takes to become a Reindeer farmer yourself!

This is a magical experience and we thoroughly recommend it to all people visiting Utsjoki!
