Summer package tour
Gámasjávri – Sámi Summer residence
Summer in the mountains is truly magical, and we invite you to our absolute favorite place—Gámasjávri! Nestled among berry bushes (and buzzing mosquitoes), this hidden gem is home to a collection of reindeer herders’ cabins. These cabins belong to families from Sarivuoma Sámi village, who come here to fish, pick berries, and hike. Now, we offer you the unique opportunity to experience the breathtaking summer landscapes of Sápmi, guided by dedicated Sámi hosts.
High up in the mountains, you become one with nature. We are deep in a roadless wilderness, where even mobile phones lose their signal. But instead of notifications and distractions, the days are filled with something else—something almost magical.
With a small group size—maximum 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children—you can tailor the experience to your own pace. Plus, this tour is only available for private groups, ensuring an exclusive and personal adventure. Since the days are shaped by the weather, no one knows exactly how the journey will unfold—but we promise breathtaking nature, fascinating conversations, and delicious food.
So if you’re looking for pristine fishing waters but also appreciate a comfortable bed and a warm meal, this adventure is for you! We also welcome mixed groups—whether you’re here to fish or prefer to combine it with other activities, there’s something for everyone.
Day 1 - Arrival
Our transfer picks you up after breakfast and drive you to the helicopter pad. From there you fly for about 30 minutes straight out into the mountain range. You land next to Gámasjávri and are met by this week’s guides who will show you to cabin and when you are ready, lunch and coffee await. The rest of the day is spent discovering the local area and the fishing waters.
Day 2, 3 & 4 - Fishing, sauna, berries & Sámi storytelling
Every morning after breakfast we jump into the boat to whiten our nets. Here, both char, trout and pike come up as pearls on a ribbon. If you want to follow, we also drive around the lake and look at the views from the water. When we return, the fish will be cleaned and salted. If you are curious, we are happy to teach you our techniques, but if you would rather take a bath and a sauna, it is perfectly okay. If you prefer to spend the day hiking, berry picking or rod fishing, we pack a lunch basket and leave in the middle of the day.
Day 5 – Departure
After breakfast it is time to pack up and clean the cottage (departure cleaning for a fee) The helicopter will come and fly you back to the city where you will be transported to the airport or hotel of your choice.
