Experience the Arctic with Local Guides

Utsjoki, in the heart of the Sámi Homelands

In the northernmost corner of the European Union, in Finnish Lapland, lies the municipality of Ohcejohka, Utsjoki. In the transition zone of the arctic taiga and tundra, reindeer herding has been the enabler of life and continuity for the Sámi people for centuries. Utsjoki is special protected Sámi reindeer herding area, where 90 % of the land is protected by the Finnish law as nature reserve.
