An indigenous Sami owned and operated glamping site in the Laponia world heritage area, less than 1 hour drive from the Arctic towns of Jokkmokk and Gällivare. The owner, Lennart Pittja is a Sami from a reindeer herding family on this land and the location of the camp in the unspoiled nature of the Laponia World Heritage, on the shore of Lule River is unique.

 

This is the place where you will learn about the true life and culture of the indigenous Sami people in a personal, small-scale and sustainable way. You will stay in comfortable, warm and cosy lavvu cabins or tents and there’s always a local host present during your stay here taking care of you.

 

The camp has 5 double rooms and most of our meals are served in the cosy log cabin in the middle of the glamping site.
