Miessemánnu

It is a magical moment to see a calf taking its first steps

SPRING ACTIVITIES

Miessemánnu – Reindeer calf month

Visit our reindeer herd during the most magical time of the year—May. This is when hundreds of reindeer welcome their newborn calves, and you’ll have the rare opportunity to witness these tiny creatures taking their first stumbling steps.

Together with your host, you’ll walk around the enclosure, giving you plenty of chances to observe and photograph the newborn reindeer up close.

To fully immerse yourself in Sápmi, the visit concludes with a traditional Sámi meal, prepared over an open fire inside a cozy lávvu tent. As you share this special moment, there’s plenty of time for engaging conversations, stories, and laughter.
