The Sámi farm is located in an ancient settlement, where Nuoran Pekka founded Nellim village at the end of the 19th century. He established the first new estate there, which was named Njellim in Inari Sámi. You will hear the story of Nellim village as told by a descendant of the founder of the village, Nuoran Pekka. You will hear Sámi traditional songs and stories as well as traditional drumming at home by the fire. You also learn Inari Sami.

In the small Sámi village of Nellim, you can take a beautiful road into the wilderness and you may see reindeer, wild animals and birds. The open lake shore is also a good place to observe the northern lights.

    Sustainability

    The values of Sámi Village especially include respecting the Inari Sámi language and culture, traditional environments, and livelihoods. We offer the atmosphere, stories, and experiences of an original Sámi village by the shore of Lake Inari in the village of Nellim with quality and responsibility. For us, responsibility means, among other things, the following:

    Preserving, maintaining, and communicating Inari Sámi culture, language, and traditions to others. Café Nellim Sámi Village and its surroundings respect the original buildings. We offer local game, fish, and berries for lunch. Cultural performances include traditional drum music and stories. The performance is based on both ancient and modern original melodies and poems. The proceeds from sales are used to continue recording Inari Sámi stories for future generations. Currently, the fifth book in the Inari Sámi language is already in progress.

    We respect original environmental values, leave no trace, and inform our customers about biodiversity. We make birdhouses, leave standing deadwood for cavity-nesting birds, and preserve the area in its natural and original state.

    We prioritize customer safety. Our guides have relevant first aid training and insurance. The means of transportation are well-maintained, and the equipment, routes, and activities are safe.

    Sámi Village is part of the internationally recognized Biosphere responsibility program and Visit Finland's sustainable tourism program. We continually develop our operations and consider the responsibility impacts of stakeholders and procurement as well.

    We have received EU rural development funding from the Northernmost Lapland Leader group
