Om opplevelsen
Witness what few ever do — the first breath of new life, surrounded by snow, the reindeer herd, and trust.
This is where we go to be with our animals. A quiet mountain valley, snow-covered and still, where the herd gathers to calve. The reindeers know this place. And they know us.
Every spring, new life begins here. And while we live it every day, this moment is rarely shared.
For a short window in May, we open the door to a handful of guests. Not to watch from a distance, but to be there. Among the herd. Feeding them. Moving through the same landscape we do. If the timing is right, you may witness a newborn calf take its first breath.
You’ll travel with us by snowmobile sled, seated on warm hides. The reindeer will come close, not because they’re tame, but because they trust us. And when you’re with us, they’ll trust you too.
We sit together around the fire, and share what the land has given us: reindeer, moose, ptarmigan. Wild, real, and cooked the old Sámi way. You won’t find this in any restaurant. These are ancestral preparations, made to be eaten right here in the wild, with the reindeers close and the mountain around us.
In the quiet, with the herd nearby and the fire burning, the moment often calls for a joik. Not planned, not performed. Just part of the moment. Like the reindeer. Like the snow. Like you being there.
