Sámi Storytelling, Reindeer & Magic of Campfire

Experience the Magic of Sámi Culture – and Watch the Northern Lights Dance Above You

Just outside the hotel, a large and atmospheric lavvu awaits – a place filled with the spirit of Sámi culture and tradition.
At 9:00 PM, you can step inside and embark on a magical journey through Sámi storytelling, performed by Sámi people dressed in their beautiful traditional kofte.
Feel the deep emotion of the joik, the ancient song form that carries the stories, emotions, and soul of the Arctic.

Warm yourself by the crackling campfire in the lavvu as you enjoy authentic campfire coffee and a selection of hot and cold drinks. Listen to fascinating stories about the rich Sámi history, culture, and way of life, shared in an intimate and genuine atmosphere.

Outside the lavvu, you’ll meet the friendly reindeer. Step into their enclosure, give them a gentle pat, feed them – and capture an unforgettable reindeer selfie!

After your reindeer encounter, we’ll gather around the outdoor fire pit for a cozy and magical evening under the Arctic sky. Everything is ready for you as you wait for that breathtaking moment when the Northern Lights burst into color across the night sky.
When the aurora dances in shades of green, purple, and pink, you’ll understand why this is an experience you’ll never forget.

With its dry and clear climate, Skibotn is one of the very best places in Northern Norway to witness the Northern Lights – and this evening gives you the perfect setting to enjoy it to the fullest.
