It&#8217;s a part of local cultural activities, often associated with traditional Finnish or Indigenous S\u00e1mi practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activity involves using a looped rope, which is thrown to capture a target, usually a post, a pole, or a specific object. The goal is to throw the lasso in such a way that the loop lands around the target. <strong>All you need to do is to catch the \u201cfake reindeer antler\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;with the&nbsp;<strong>lasso<\/strong>&nbsp;in different ranges, from the shortest to the longest distance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-1024x695.jpeg\" alt=\"Sami reindeer herder throwing the lasso rope\" class=\"wp-image-2441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-1024x695.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-768x521.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-1536x1042.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/D0Vbs7aHEFzRG_bwe2oeEA-2048x1389.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Sami reindeer herder showing us how to throw the lasso properly<\/em> in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/destinations\/lapland\/finnish-lapland.html?page=1&amp;destination_city%5Bfilter%5D=Saariselk%C3%A4%2C7\"><strong>Saariselk\u00e4<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips from me:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t ask a herder how many reindeer they have on their farm.

Sami culture exploration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sami are the indigenous people of the Arctic, with a culture that\u2019s as vibrant and resilient as the landscape they call home. Exploring Sami culture is a highlight of any trip to the Arctic, offering insight into centuries-old traditions, crafts, and beliefs. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/01HBC8Z85550NPF2V3W2YP9TRD-1024x602.jpeg\" alt=\"An elder in traditional Sami clothing shares stories with a group of visitors.

This is the time you can meet a local Sami indigenous person, who will be telling you so many stories about their culture. It&#8217;s a good time to ask lots of questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also get to listen to &#8220;joik&#8221; singing, a hauntingly beautiful form of music unique to the Sami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested, check if there\u2019s a cultural festival happening during your visit! Sami festivals are filled with music, colourful clothing, and special foods, making them the perfect opportunity to experience Sami culture at its most lively and authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storytelling by the fire in Swedish Lapland<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In some destinations, people organize themselves with a guide for a storytelling night. For me, it was a memorable night on my Grand Lapland trip during our time in Abisko. Even though it was just a self-organized activity, I learned a lot about the cultures through the stories there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People arrived at the hut, gathered closer to the fire, embraced in warm blankets, and were ready to share the experience. We could almost feel the excitement building as we waited for the story to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timetravelsclub.zendesk.com\/hc\/user_images\/01HBCABS0DJ8J599MEFX3TQCY4.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lapland&#8217;s stories often feature elements of&nbsp;<strong>magic, folklore creatures, and the Northern Lights.<\/strong>&nbsp;In the heart of the Arctic wilderness, our storytellers began to tell old legends and tales of Lapland. The power of words took us to another world, one filled with&nbsp;<strong>mystery, adventure, and wonder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended the night with a walk together to&nbsp;<strong>Abisko Kungsleden tunnel<\/strong>. It was a special typical tunnel with speakers that played traditional Sami songs, known as <strong>&#8220;joik&#8221;<\/strong>. As we walked towards the end, the gradual transformation of these sounds created an immersive musical journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Physical exertion level: Low-Intensity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the Reindeer herder experience, this activity is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Arctic Ocean Tour to Norway &amp; Sauna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those seeking adventure and jaw-dropping views, an Arctic Ocean tour is a can\u2019t-miss experience. The Arctic Ocean tour will depend on the destination you choose to travel to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are travelling to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/destinations\/lapland\/finnish-lapland.html?page=1&amp;destination_city%5Bfilter%5D=Saariselk%C3%A4%2C7\"><strong>Saariselk\u00e4<\/strong><\/a>, you will visit a small picturesque village of <strong>Bug\u00f8ynes<\/strong> in Northern Norway.&nbsp;If you are travelling to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timetravels.com\/destinations\/lapland\/finnish-lapland.html?page=1&amp;destination_city%5Bfilter%5D=Kilpisj%C3%A4rvi%2C9\"><strong>Kilpisj\u00e4rvi<\/strong><\/a>, then <strong>Troms\u00f8<\/strong> will be your stop.

If you have already a preferred destination in mind, take some time to research these charming Arctic towns to see which one aligns best with your travel plans and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Norway destinations could change in each trip<\/strong> depending on the final itinerary, but in general, the common thing about it is to see the stunning scenery of Norway! From early morning until late evening, you will discover new things about Lapland! There\u2019s something so magical about being out on these icy waters, snowy mountains and breathtaking views on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chance to sauna like a local<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely one activity <strong>you <em>must<\/em> try <\/strong>during your Lapland trip, no matter what kind of traveller you are! It\u2019s the perfect way to relax, rejuvenate, and recover after high-energy adventures, and it lets you completely immerse yourself in Lapland\u2019s stunning nature. You\u2019ll feel refreshed, recharged, and connected to the beauty around you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-330f266e\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sauna in <strong>Bug\u00f8ynes<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you are stopping in <strong>Bug\u00f8ynes<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll get a chance to go swimming in the <strong>Arctic Ocean,<\/strong> or just a walk along the sandy beach and take photos of the spectacular landscape.
