The Sámi are well known for their sustainable hunting practices. With reindeer grazing freely across the entire island, the Sámi hunt on foot, using as few motorized means of transport as possible. To ensure the quality of the meat, the herds are well fed with reindeer lichen and grass rather than pellets.

You’ll have the chance to sample some local products. Depending on what’s in season, these may include smoked and cured meats, traditional bark bread, mullet, and berries.

In keeping with Sámi tradition, reindeer are not only used for their meat but also for their hides and skins, which are used to create a variety of products by hand. This traditional handicraft method is called duodji. Depending on the season, you may be able to see some crafts being made.
