Peaceful pancake lunch by the river & jam-making workshop

Settle down by the beautiful Vindel river on comfortable reindeer hides. You will be shown step by step how to make traditional jam with locally foraged berries picked by your guide and learn about local history and culture while the jam is simmering over the fire. Your guide will prepare classic Swedish pancakes in front of you to be enjoyed with your newly made jam for a cozy nature lunch.

This is an excellent alternative to the foraging activity if berry-season is over or your group wants an easy and fun hands-on lunch experience. It is a slow-paced meal where you really take the time to enjoy the moment and where you are. Swedish pancakes with homemade jam enjoyed outside is a delicacy you don’t want to miss out on! You will have the choice between blueberry, cloudberry, or lingonberry, depending on availability.
