Giron siida
Meet the reindeer and Sami culture up close
About Giron siida
Giron siida is an authentic Sami experience in Varangerbotn in Nesseby, run by Ragne Kristine Smuk, who grew up in a Sami reindeer herding family. In 2014, she established a refuge for reindeer from her family's herd that needed extra care. Today she welcomes guests who wish to meet the reindeer closely, feed the animals by hand, gather around the fire, and hear stories that offer deep insight into Sami culture and way of life. The experience suits both adults and children and follows animal welfare guidelines.
