Day Two

Breakfast at the hotel

The hotel is located approximately 20 km outside the geographical area known as Handölsdalens Sámi, an official Swedish Sámi reindeer herding community (known as a sameby) and today will include an introduction to reindeer herding in the region. We will walk up to the lávvu, a traditional seasonal dwelling of Sami people on the mountain, and enjoy an opportunity to sample Sámi food products.

You will also take part in a textile workshop focused on traditional Sámi crafts, including tin thread embroidery. Sámi handicrafts hold an important place within the wider Sámi culture. Alongside distinctive band weaving and the making of the traditional Sámi garment, the kolt, pewter thread embroidery on leather is a central element of Sámi craft traditions.

Day Three

After breakfast at the hotel, we will leave the mountains and travel to Östersund, the county town of Jämtland.

The first visit of the day is the regional museum, Nationalmuseum Jamtli. A branch of Nationalmuseum Stockholm, the collection comprises painting, sculpture, drawings and prints from 1500-1900, as well as applied arts, design and portraits from early Middle Ages up to the present day. Among the highlights are the ancient tapestries known as the Överhogdal textiles. Created around 1,000 years ago, they depict a rich variety of figures, including people, horses and mythical creatures, and continue to inspire a range of interpretations.

After lunch, we will visit Kyrkås Kulturgård, the heritage farm where one of these remarkable Viking textiles was discovered. We will visit on the day of the annual Harvest Festival. There will be stalls offering locally sourced food and delicacies, alongside local artists and craftspeople displaying and selling their work.

In the evening, you will stay at the Best Western Gamla Teatern in Östersund and enjoy dinner in a local restaurant.

Day Four

Breakfast at the hotel

Today Jennifer's mother, Ulrika, will join us in the village of Orrviken for a traditional Jämtland folk costume workshop. The village overlooks Lake Storsjön and the surrounding mountains and the workshop will take place in a natural setting, with tame moose roaming just behind the house. We will take a break from crafting during the day to visit the moose.

During the workshop, Ulrika will share details of the history and the craftsmanship behind these folk costumes and present complete Ragunda and Rätan outfits, pointing out the various textile techniques used in their creation.

For the practical workshop, we will take a closer look at the skirt pouch, which is often decorated with wool embroidery. You will have the opportunity to try wool embroidery, an important element of Jämtland’s textile craft tradition. This technique can be found in a wide range of items, including cushions, pincushions and mittens.

This evening you will stay at Åre Fjällsätra, and dinner will be in nearby Åre, one of Sweden’s most popular ski resorts.

Day Five

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will head back to the airport. We will make a couple of stops on the way, including at Sweden’s biggest waterfall, Tännforsen, where you will get a chance to enjoy the fresh Scandinavian air.
