Reindeer Lodge

Stay amidst nature and with a Sámi touch outside Jukkasjärvi village. Choose between a cosy forest cabin (stohpu) and a comfortable Sámi tent (goahti), or why not one night in each? Nestled in the woods and on the banks of river Torne, this small-scale and snug accommodation facility with plenty of space offers an ideal base for your Swedish Lapland getaway. During the period from late April to late autumn, we have no reindeer grazing at the lodge, but instead a free ticket to the Márkanbáiki Museum is included, where you can meet and feed some reindeer during summer and autumn.

Stohpu – Forest cabin (5)
Make a cosy cabin a resting place during your holidays. Our five wooden cabins in Sámi design are inspired by the reindeer herder cabins that used within reindeer husbandry. Each cabin is like a large room of 20 m² which is equipped with a double bed (1.60 x 2.00 m), wood-burning stove, electrical heaters, refrigerator, chairs and a table. Four out of five cabins are also furnished with a sofa bed (1.60 x 1.80 m) that can accommodate another adult and a child, alt. two children. The cabin is decorated with elements and designs from nature and the Sámi culture and a great accommodation in the woods.
WC, single-sex shower and changing rooms, wood-fired, mixed sauna and breakfast room/guest kitchen are in separate common facilities located a few meters from the cabins. There is access to common barbecue area too. Breakfast is served in the morning for a good start to the day.

Goahti – Modern Sámi tent (2)
Move into a comfortable Sámi tent for a couple of days with adventurous touch to get a sense of reindeer herding lifestyle, albeit in a slightly arranged and pleasant way. Here we combine the best of glamping and the nomadic Sámi lifestyle in our two goahti tents. Each goahti is a tent room of 20 m² which is characterised by its conical shape. It is furnished with a double bed (1.40 m x 2.00 m), wood-burning stove, modern oil stove, chairs and a table, as well as a sofa bed (1.20 m x 1.80 m) that can accommodate another adult and a child, alt two children. A small sanitary room with combustion toilet and wash hand basin is built into the goahti tent for comfort reasons. There is access to refrigerator.

The interior of the goahti tent features Sámi design and natural materials. Candle lights enhance the lovely cosiness in this special type of lodging even more. WC, single-sex shower and changing rooms, wood-fired, mixed sauna and breakfast room/guest kitchen are in separate common facilities located a few meters from the tents. There is access to common barbecue area too. Breakfast is served in the morning for a good start to the day.

Meet the reindeer
In winter, Reindeer Lodge is also home to reindeer, hence the name. Our reindeer graze near the cabins and we support feed them so that they can cope with difficult conditions. Depending on snow conditions and the progress of winter, more and more reindeer will move in.

During the period from late April to late autumn, we have no reindeer grazing at the lodge, but instead a free ticket to the Márkanbáiki Museum is included, where you can meet and feed some of our reindeer during summer and autumn.

Reindeer Lodge is the perfect spot for travellers by car who look for an accommodation off-the-beaten track, yet still easily accessible. Reindeer Lodge is situated only 15 km from Kiruna Airport and 3 km outside Jukkasjärvi village. We offer check-in and out transfer alternatives with minibus against supplement.
