Your dinner is served in our restaurant with transfer included. (M)
Day 2 - Traditional Sámi dinner
After a hearty breakfast, you have the day to discover the village. Maybe visit the world-famous Icehotel, Norrbotten's oldest church or the outdoor museum in Jukkasjärvi? Build a snowman and grill sausages? You get to shape the day exactly as you want before the evening's adventure begins. At 18.30 you will be picked up by the transfer service who will take you to our restaurant where you will be treated to a world-unique meal experience. In three dishes you will try everyting from the most traditional dishes to innovative modern interpretations from the Sámi kitchen. If the northern lights appear we will go out together and watch the magnificent light dance to end the evening. The night is spent in your cabin, heated by both stove and element (F, M).
Day 3 – Vuojan and night in lávvu
Your third day is full of adventure and it starts yesterday right after breakfast. Your guide meets you at the lodge and together you familiarize yourself with our reindeer before setting out to drive a sled through Sápmi's wonderful winter landscape. Each guest manages and drives their own reindeer, making this a fantastic experience for true outdoor enthusiasts. After a while of active reindeer sled driving we arrive at a nice campsite where the guide cooks a tasty reindeer herder lunch. At the lodge you are shown the accommodation for the night; a traditional lavvú where you sleep on a bed of birch branches with a reindeer hides and a sleeping bag - just like in the old days! Dinner is served in our restaurant, transfer included. (F,L,M)
