A reindeer farm visit is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the semi-domesticated reindeers and get a brief glance of the Sami culture. In winter season most of the reindeers stay near the farm. That is when you can head into the enclosure and visit the reindeers.

Meet the reindeers; enjoy being close to the reindeers and see how curious and friendly the reindeers are. You will get to feed the reindeers and of course have the opportunity to capture photos.

The reindeers will gather around you to get some of their preferred food. You will learn how to act around the reindeers; be calm, move slowly, and avoid loud noises.

The Sami people are the indigenous people living in Northern Norway. Most Sami today work in mainstream jobs, still about 10% of the Sami make their living from herding reindeer. The majority of the region of Northern Norway is actually used for raising reindeer.

The Sami have their own language and lead sustainable, culture-rich lives close to nature.

During the visit to the reindeer farm you will hopefully get a small taste of how the Sami have a different perspective of life and nature from that of noisy and stressful city life.

An uncertain future? The Sami engaged in reindeer herding are today facing increasingly more challenges from the ever-changing modern world.

Exploitation of their lands, an increasing number of predators, climate change and the disappearance of their ancestral languages are threatening the Sami way of life.
