The Experience
Your teambuilding session begins at our Sámi camp on Salen Mountain — a panoramic highland that becomes your team’s outdoor arena for cooperation, friendly competition and shared experiences.
After a short welcome and introduction by your Sámi guide, the group is divided into teams. You then rotate through a series of challenges inspired by traditional skills used in Sámi daily life.
Activities focus on:
-
teamwork
-
coordination
-
communication
-
fun, inclusive competition
Between challenges, there is time to enjoy the views, take photos and (often) see reindeer grazing nearby.
