Lappish Dinner in a kota

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

A snowshoe outing through the winter forest, a welcoming kota and the smell of dinner on its way—this is an evening to look forward to.

While we’re out exploring on snowshoes, reindeer stew is being cooked for our return. Follow your guide through the snowy surroundings, enjoy the movement and the evening air, then make your way to the kota with an appetite for something properly Lappish.

Inside, there’s time to settle in, eat and share the stories of the evening. That first mouthful tastes all the better after being out in the cold. And when we step outside again, we’ll keep an eye on the sky—you never know when the Northern Lights might decide to join us.
