The Sami Way

Day 1
At Storli Gård, just 20 minutes from Mo i Rana station, the couple Toamma and Anne Berit will welcome you and guide you to your overnight stay. After a tour of the area, Aernie will provide some private time while preparing the evening meal. Explore the nature trail to Lapplia or relax in their ‘luxury tent’ before a delightful 3-course dinner is served in cozy surroundings.

The farm, dating back to 1804 and spanning seven generations of Sami heritage and farming culture, offers an authentic experience. Dive into the farm’s history and Sami traditions. The culinary experience is memorable, with highlights such as rengakaka, reindeer meat, and the baking of the Sami bread ‘laejpie’ for lunch.

Day 2
After a good night’s sleep, a breakfast basket awaits by your bedside, featuring local ingredients. After check-out, the hosts will take you on a journey into South Sami culture. A unique experience includes serving, self-cooking, lasso throwing, and concludes with a memorable joik. After the activity, transportation will be ready to take you to the station for your next adventure along the Nordlandsbanen.

Do you wish to combine packages in your journey?

1. Prepare which stops you want to include in your package tour. Check the duration of the packages so you don’t overlap. The River Way and The Mountain Way are 2 nights, the rest are only 1 night.

The train travels northbound, so the order of the stops is:
Trondheim – Trofors – Mosjøen – Bjerka – Mo i Rana – Lønsdal – Bodø

2. Go to “Order”, the green button in the bottom right corner, choose the date you wish to start this package and amount of travelers. When combining multiple stops, it’s important to choose the correct “version” when adding the package to your cart. The “version” decides which transportation distance you will include for this package. After choosing the correct «version», add the package it to your cart.

3. All packages must have a “travel to”, meaning you must select the version that takes you to the activity. If you’re continuing to another stop/package from The River Way, you will book the train from Trofors to the next stop, in the next package when choosing the version. Navigate to the next package by scrolling down this page and clicking on the package you wish to explore.

4. Last stop? Once you’ve added the package to your cart, make sure to select the train journey from this stop, either to Bodø or back to Trondheim. This is added under “Edit package” in the checkout.

One-stop journey?
