Ruovttus - Homestay with Simon Issát
Package tour 3 days
Being a reindeer herder is more than a job, it's a lifestyle
Simon Issát, host, 2022
Simon Issát Marainen invites you home for a unique opportunity to get close to the Sámi lifestyle, simply by living it! Get to experience life as a reindeer herder while you live in a cottage on Simon Issát's yard, help him with the reindeer and listen to his stories. The days are filled with both reindeer herder chores and free time to explore the local area yourself. So come and visit the Marainen family in Nedre Soppero where you can enjoy the barren winter landscape as well as the warm hospitality in an unforgettable, personal experience.
Thanks to the small group, a maximum of 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children, the trip is easily adapted to your needs. The days are also affected by season, weather and wind so nobody one knows exactly how the stay will be shaped. This makes the experience unique just for you.
