Northern lights in Sápmi overnight stay in traditional lavvo

We welcome you at our homestead here in Karasjok to spend a night under the stars. Once you are settled and comfortable in your lavvo, the traditional Sami tent you’ll spend the night in, we will visit you in there to share stories about our life as reindeer herders, and the type of activities we do during our eight seasons. You will have the opportunity to meet our reindeer, to feed them and take photos. You can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and our speciality of dried reindeer meat while we tell you about the Northern lights. We will share stories and myths about the natural phenomenon in Sápmi, how the lights have affected us in the past and how we regard them today.

If the sky is cloudy and snowy we won’t be able to see the aurora, but if we are lucky and the skies are clear, we might get to witness the dancing, colored lights. After our visit you will have the lavvo for yourself. You’ll have access to your own toilet in the main house. In the morning we will wake you with breakfast and we’ll show you how to make fresh coffee in the lavvo if you want to.
