Local Life & Sámi Reindeer Traditions
Discover the spirit of Kilpisjärvi during the snow season with a local guide who has called this Arctic village home for nearly two decades. This small group tour introduces you to daily life in Finland’s only mountain village and connects you with Sámi culture and reindeer traditions.
Scenic Ride and Story Telling in a Winter Setting
Your guide meets you in the village centre and leads you on a scenic ride through the Arctic landscape. Take a seat in the snowmobile passenger sleigh and enjoy the snow-covered nature. During stops on the frozen Lake Kilpisjärvi and the nearby wilderness lake Tsahkal, your guide shares stories about local history and the realities of living far above the Arctic Circle. You’ll hear how nature, traditions and resilience shape life in this remote northern community.
Sámi Experience at Tornensis Family Homestead
Your tour continues to the Tornensis family homestead, where you are welcomed into a traditional wooden hut with an open fire. A member of this reindeer-herding family shares insights into Sámi traditions, the age-old practice of reindeer herding, and the meaning of Duodji – traditional Sámi handicraft that reflect both creativity and everyday usefulness. Afterwards, step outside to meet the reindeer and feed them. Throughout the visit, your guide is by your side to enrich the experience.
Plan Your Participation!
This guided small group tour is available from late November until late March. The tour lasts 3 ½ hours and is limited to a maximum of 12 participants. However, please note that during the visit to the Tornensis Family Homestead for the Sámi Experience other visitors may also be present.
