VISITOR CENTRE WILD REINDEER

The wild reindeer was vital for the survival of our ancestors for thousands of years. In our exhibition you can learn more about this and se a mounted wild reindeer and skeleton. Both are from animals who lived in these mountains. The history and current challenges of wild reindeer are also topics for exploration here. In the outdoor area you will find reconstructions of the pitfall traps our ancestors used. We also have a reconstruction of the typical historic shelters people would use when travelling across the mountains by foot or by horse. We open 10th of june 2023.
