Delicious 3-course menu, with reindeer as main course. Breakfast was extensive and very tasty. On the pricey side, but you get value for your money.

On this hike you have the real chance to see musk oxes!

Today we went hiking a bit in the high altitudes at only 13 degrees. Unfortunately we didn't see any musk oxen. According to the locals, they had gathered for another 6 km of steep uphill walking and that would have been too much for my companion 😂
