Welcome to our world

We are a Sámi reindeer-herding family in Tromsø and have lived and worked with reindeer for many generations. Together with our herd of hundreds of reindeer, we welcome you to share our culture, traditions and way of life.

When you come to our camp you are not visiting an attraction — you are visiting the place where we live and work, and we would like to share it with you.
