Explore the rich cultural heritage of the Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of Lapland, during our immersive day trip in Inari. Set in the picturesque village of Inari, this guided tour offers a unique glimpse into Sámi life.
We begin by meeting up at Xwander Nordic. From Ivalo we head to the Reindeer Farm in Inari (approximately forty minute scenic drive).
At the reindeer farm, you'll meet Tuula, where you'll learn about the gentle and beloved creatures. Enjoy observing the reindeer and gaining insight into their role in Lappish life.
Next, we journey to a traditional Lappish Tipi by the shores of Muddujärvi for an open-fire lunch.
Our adventure continues with a visit to the renowned Sámi Museum "Siida". Recognized as the European Museum of the Year 2024.
The trip lasts approximately 6 hours.
Please note that the order of activities might change according to partner availability.
