A must do experience, interesting, thought provoking & unique.
We had such a lovely, interesting & cultural 2-hour visit to Angeli Reindeer Farm in January 2023. Our trip was part of a package organised by our Hotel, there were just 6 of us on the visit & it felt very personal. Anne was very welcoming, spoke excellent English, Finish & Sami & was so knowledgable. We were able to feed some of the reindeer & see them in their natural habitat. Not only did she tell us about the reindeer, herding & how they live, but also a lot about the local nature, the area and Sami culture. It was very thought-provoking. We were welcomed into her home for a hot drink & discussed some more about the local culture, shown traditional boots, pouches & other handicrafts she had cleverly made also. I would highly recommend visiting, thank you for your hospitality Anne & family.

A unique and beautiful experience
If you are interested in the Sami culture and reindeer herding, this is the best experience! We were just with our own family. Anne was waiting in front of her beautiful house with food for the reindeers. We could fed them and Anne told us all about the reindeers and their way of living. Beautiful and friendly animals. After an hour we went inside for a warm drink and Anne told us all about the Sami culture, language and handicrafts. It was very interesting, Anne answered all our questions . Anne is a very warm and nice person, it is beautiful and unique experience. Thank you so much for your hospitality Anne!

Great visit at a traditional Sami reindeer farm
Amazing experience learning about the Sami culture while visiting a traditional family in their home. As reindeer herders, the Sami families raise and take care of their herds and that of fellow Sami herders as well. Their resilience and knowledge of what nature provides for them and ability to use it sustainably is truly inspiring. They make thread for sewing from reindeer tendons, fish scales to make purses, fish vertebrae as beads for crafts just to name a few. Highly recommend!
