After meeting with our guide, you will be driven 15 minutes from Rovaniemi to a craft workshop located in the forest along the Ounasjoki river. You will be welcomed by Irene and Ari who live and work there. During the first part of the program, you will learn interesting things about the wildlife as well as the materials used to make a multitude of Lapp handicrafts (Kuksa, clothes, Lapp drum, jewellery, knives...). The second part of the program is devoted to making your own souvenirs (bracelets, whistles, necklaces, key rings, etc.) Finally, you will be invited to visit Ari and Irene’s house (which was built in the traditional Lappish style) and to taste small local specialties.

Exceptional human encounter! You will experience a moment outside of time... this moment when ultimately the activity, although interesting, takes a back seat because the exchange with your hosts fills you with humanity! Adults and children alike will appreciate this warm proximity, both literally and figuratively!
