Being a reindeer herder is more than a job, it's a lifestyle
Simon Issát, host, 2022

Simon Issát Marainen invites you home for a unique opportunity to get close to the Sámi lifestyle, simply by living it! Get to experience life as a reindeer herder while you live in a cottage on Simon Issát's yard, help him with the reindeer and listen to his stories. The days are filled with both reindeer herder chores and free time to explore the local area yourself. So come and visit the Marainen family in Nedre Soppero where you can enjoy the barren winter landscape and the warm hospitality in an unforgettable, personal experience.
