A day in the life of a reindeer herder

The Sami are an indigenous people of northern Europe, known for reindeer herding. Once nomadic, they now live in villages but keep their own language and culture.

In the north of Dalarna, near the Norwegian border, lies the southernmost Sami community in Scandinavia. You spend two nights in a traditional tipi tent, sleep on reindeer skins and cook on an open fire or a simple gas stove. The Andersson family, one of four Sami families here, tell you about life as reindeer herders and take you on a hike with the herd.
