Simon Issát Marainen welcomes you to his home for a unique opportunity to experience the Sámi lifestyle—not just as a visitor, but by truly living it! Stay in a cozy cottage on Simon Issát’s yard, help care for the reindeer, and listen to his captivating stories about life as a herder. Your days will be filled with a mix of reindeer herding tasks and free time to explore the surrounding landscape at your own pace.

Visit the Marainen family in Nedre Soppero and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Arctic winter while enjoying warm Sámi hospitality in an unforgettable, personal experience.

With a small group size—maximum 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children—the trip is easily adapted to your needs. The daily activities are shaped by the season, weather, and wind, meaning no two stays are ever the same. This ensures a truly unique and authentic experience, just for you.
