Winter in Swedish Lapland - Experience Sámi Culture at Huuva Hideaway
When snow blankets the land and stars dance across the sky, winter in Sápmi invites you to embrace the stillness and magic of the season. Our winter experiences are shaped by Sámi traditions — from fireside storytelling and Arctic flavours to starry night walks and crisp adventures in the snow. Welcome to the quiet beauty of Norrbotten, Sweden.
Arctic Calm & Winter Light
Explore our winter wonder land, designed to warm your senses and connect you with the land, the season, and Sámi traditions.
We begin by the fire with a warm welcome drink in hand. Try gliding on a kicksled or take a few soft steps in snowshoes before we gather indoors for a cosy 3-course lunch. As you dine, stories unfold — about Sámi life, reindeer, and the Arctic land. We finish with home-baked Swedish fika and a moment of stillness.
Taste and Tales of Sápmi
Glide through snowy trails on a kicksled in search of the Sápmi Santa, tucked away in his cosy hideout. Enjoy a warm welcome with traditional Swedish Christmas fika, homemade treats, and stories of our holiday traditions. An intimate and heartwarming winter experience — complete with bird feeding and a sprinkle of magic.
The Sápmi Santa
Get hands-on with Sámi-inspired food and craft traditions.
Try your hand at wood carving and whittling, then bake your own gahkku — a soft flatbread rooted in Arctic food culture. End the experience with a Sámi-style tapas tasting of smoked, cured, and dried meats and fish, local cheeses, and beverages.
