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.
Our morning begins with a meeting at Xwander Basecamp in Ivalo Centre, where we will equip you with winter overalls, boots, and mittens. From Ivalo, we head to Inari and the Reindeer Farm (a 40-minute scenic drive).
At the reindeer farm, you'll meet Tuula, where you'll learn about these gentle creatures, beloved in Lapland. Enjoy observing the reindeer and gaining insight into their role in Lappish life.
Next, we journey to a traditional Lappish Tipi by the serene shores of Muddujärvi. Here, you'll partake in an open-fire lunch, complete with captivating stories of Lapland and hands-on bushcraft skills lessons.
Our adventure continues with a visit to the renowned Sámi Museum "Siida". Recognized as the European Museum of the Year 2024, Siida offers an engaging experience filled with fresh air and fascinating survival skills demonstrations. You can explore the local terrain under the guidance of our expert or on your own.
The trip lasts approximately 6 hours, concluding with a return between 15:00 and 16:00.
