描述
Meet reindeer up close and experience Sámi culture on Salen Mountain above Hammerfest. Gather in a traditional lavvu, feed reindeer by hand, and learn directly from a local reindeer-herding family.
Your experience begins on Salen Mountain, just above Hammerfest, where reindeer graze freely during summer and early autumn. This is an active Sámi reindeer-herding area — not a zoo or fenced attraction — and the visit follows the natural rhythm of the animals.
Your Sámi guide welcomes you at the camp and introduces you to the herd. Many reindeer approach calmly and curiously, allowing you to feed them by hand and take close-up photos while learning about their behavior, life cycle, and the close relationship between reindeer and Sámi families.
After spending time with the reindeer, you gather inside a traditional lavvu. With a fire burning and reindeer hides for seating, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Here, your guide shares personal stories from reindeer herding, explains Sámi traditions, and performs joik — an ancient vocal expression unique to Sámi culture.
The pace of the experience is slow and respectful, with time for questions, photos, and quiet moments. The focus is on authenticity, cultural understanding, and connection to nature — not performances or entertainment.
From the camp, you can also enjoy panoramic views over Hammerfest and the Arctic Ocean, making this a memorable cultural experience set in true Arctic surroundings.

重要信息
Smoke in the lavvu:
A traditional fire is used inside the lavvu, and some smoke will be present. Smoke levels improve once the door is closed, but the smell may linger on clothing. Please avoid wearing your finest clothes.
Terrain:
The area around the camp has natural, uneven ground and is not paved. Suitable footwear is recommended.
Reindeer interaction:
The reindeer are accustomed to people but remain animals. Please follow the guide’s instructions and behave calmly and respectfully at all times.
Weather conditions:
Weather on Salen Mountain can change quickly. The experience may be adjusted or cancelled for safety reasons.
Transportation:
Transportation can be arranged on request for groups of up to 4 participants (self-paid).
Transportation is included for groups larger than 4 participants.
Finding SamiBooking: To locate SamiBooking, you can search for it on Google Maps. The drive to the camp takes approximately 8 minutes by car. If you prefer to walk, it takes around 10-15 minutes from the city center via Sikksakkveien. You can search for Sikksakkveien on Google Maps to find the exact path. Meeting Point: The meeting point is located at the top of Salen mountain, where our camp consists of a large lavvo (traditional Sami tent) in an enclosed area that is easily visible upon arrival. The camp is situated right next to the road, making it easily accessible. If you are in the city center or arriving from a boat, you can reach the camp by walking up Sikksakkveien. This path starts in Salsgata, behind the blue music pavilion. The trail is wide and well-maintained, though slightly steep, with handrails along the way and benches at each turn. The view improves as you ascend, and a leisurely 10-15 minute walk will take you to one of the city's best viewpoints.
