A Sami cultural village south of Murmansk where you can try reindeer sledding, feed reindeer, visit Sami tents and hear traditional songs.
Saam-Syit is a Sami cultural village for visitors, located in tundra forest about 100 km south of Murmansk. You can visit traditional tents (kuvaksa), feed reindeer, ride in a reindeer sled or snowmobile sled, taste reindeer broth and wild berry tea, and hear Sami folklore and yoik songs. Most people visit on group tours (about half a day to a full day including transfers), and in winter it is often combined with a night hunt for the northern lights.
