A little closer to Lapland.

Gather around the fire in our kota hut for a relaxed taste of Lapland, with local food and stories shared by an experienced local guide.

Enjoy local fish cooked over the fire and served with bread, and try your hand at roasting sausages. For a sweet finish, toast marshmallows until they’re just the way you like them.

As we prepare and enjoy the food together, your guide will share stories about life in the north. There’s time to ask questions, get to know your host and enjoy the warmth of the fire.
