Day Visit: Sami Culture in Skibotn

General information

Skibotn Hotel, in collaboration with "Lyngen Sami Camp", invites you into their large lavvo.

Here you will be taken on a magical journey through Sami storytelling, performed by Sami people in traditional dress, the "kofte".

You will also experience the fascinating art form joik, which conveys culture and tradition in a moving way.

To warm you up in the atmospheric lavvo, we serve campfire coffee and a selection of hot and cold drinks.

This is a unique opportunity to get up close to Sami history, culture, and traditions in a pleasant and warm atmosphere.

It will also be a golden opportunity to see reindeer up close, pet and feed them, and take photos together.
