The Reindeer Sámi are traditionally ‘semi-nomadic’, meaning they don’t stay in the same place all year. Sámi herders migrate with their reindeer during the seasons, heading to the mountains for winter and coming back together with the community in the summer. On the journey, Sámi herders will camp in a traditional tent, called a lavvo. This activity is best enjoyed in the winter season even if it’s still possible during the summer season.
