Some reindeer are inside a fence for example orphan calves or wounded reindeer that need extra care. You can feed our reindeer with Lichen or dried Birch or Willow leaves. You can photograph reindeer by close and in reindeer natural environment.
We walk a short distance in the forest near by. I will tell you stories about our work as professional reindeer herders. From history to the modern times. You can hear stories about the importancy of nature diversity to our reindeer and how the global warming is affecting our reindeer and the wildlife in the area. Together we study plants and their uses, animal tracks and the age of the forest.
We have friendly dogs at home called Piergi and Tivgâ. Names are in Inari Sámi which is our home language. We are only 300 who can speak Inari Sámi.
We offer our guests hot Berry juice inside our Kuáti (hut with a fireplace). This hut is our Craft Studio where we do all kind of traditional handcrafts.
