Leaving the pier on foot, you'll walk past the only building left standing in town at the end of WWII - the chapel. Ascend the steep path to the top of Mount Salen, from where there is an excellent view of the town and its surroundings.


Here, if you're very lucky, it may be possible to get close to small herds of reindeer, the domestic animals of the Sami. They are brought out to the coast in springtime to graze and returned to the interior in autumn. Approximately ten percent of the Sami population still live as nomads, trekking with their reindeer.


Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed inside the Mikkelgammen where you'll learn more about the Sami history and culture. Seated on reindeer skins around an open fire in a Lavvo (tent dwelling), you can listen to their special chant or Joik.


Every member of the Sami population has a personal joik, which has no actual words, but can describe a lot of things - the mood, nature or character of the person. You'll also have the opportunity to sample some traditional Sami food served by your hosts in their colorful national costumes before returning to your ship.


Need to Know:

Note: Participants must be at least 12 years of age and in good physical condition. Approximately up to 1 mile/1,509 meters of walking is involved on uneven terrain with a steep climb which may be slippery on the way down. This tour may require a transfer from the pier to the starting point of the hike, depending on where the ship is docked.
