WELCOME TO KAUTOKEINO

In winter time and the arctic night with northern light and summer with constantly daylight and midnight sun, you can experience the nature at its most extreme; a winter night spent in lavvu (traditional sami tent with an open fire in the middle), a summer evening at one of our numerous lakes fishing or reindeer race in Easter time.
 
Experience a different and exotic culture. The Sámi culture is vivid and authentic even in the modern society of to day. The famous Easter festival in Kautokeino is a yearly event with historical traditions. Easter was traditionally the time of year when Sami Peoples from all over the Sapmi region congregate in the reindeer capital Kautokeino. The end of a long, cold and dark winter was celebrated and one took part in the religious feasts and the high season of weddings.
