Local culture

A look back in time showcases the rich history of Arctic Europe: the arctic lifestyle, shaped by the indigenous Sami culture, is deeply rooted in the natural world and tightly connected to nature, and the strong influence of the viking culture is apparent even today. Take a trip to discover unexpected aspects of your travel destination, explore Arctic/local culture outdoors in the designs of Alvar Aalto, or enrich your visit by enjoying local culinary delights. Admire the skill that goes into Sami Duodji – traditional indigenous handicrafts that are both a pleasure to look at and to use. Take something home with you as a timeless and authentic memento from your trip.
