Miessemánnu
The month of the reindeer calf
It is a magical moment to see a calf taking its first steps
Nils Torbjörn Nutti, reindeer herder, business owner and guide
Be a guest among our precious reindeer herd. An exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits you when the reindeer herder meets you among hundreds of reindeer. It is a unique opportunity to watch new-born reindeer calves taking their first steps. Receive first-hand information by reindeer herders who conduct reindeer husbandry as a lifestyle based on traditional Sámi knowledge. Round off your visit by savouring a traditional Sámi meal in a lávvu tent whilst sitting around a crackling open fire to get a real taste of Sápmi.
