Arctic Tapas by the Fire

🔥 Experience the Flavours of Lapland by Open Fire

Step inside a warm Sámi-style tipi at Aurora River Camp in Poikkijärvi, just 15 minutes from Kiruna, and enjoy a unique Arctic tasting lunch by the fire.

This handcrafted 7-course experience celebrates the pure flavours of Swedish Lapland — from Arctic char and reindeer to wild berries, herbs and honey — all served in an intimate, fire-lit setting beside the frozen Torne River.

Perfect for travellers seeking to taste Lapland’s nature, culture and cuisine in one unforgettable moment. ❄️

🍽️ Your Lapland Tasting Experience

Pickup begins at 11:00 from your accommodation in the Kiruna area. On arrival at the riverside camp, you are welcomed with warm glögg and guided into the heated tipi where a crackling open fire sets the scene.

Your host then serves seven small Arctic dishes and dessert — each inspired by the forests, mountains and rivers of the North — while sharing stories about Lapland’s nature, people and traditions.

✨ Enjoy a cosy atmosphere, premium local ingredients and the authentic warmth of Arctic hospitality.
