Day’s programme
After breakfast transfer to Taivaanvalkeat in a small Lappish village called Köngäs.

Depending on the season there are lots of fresh ingredients to be collected, for example birch and spruce buds, herbs, berries, vegetables and mushrooms.

After that each group will start cooking with help of our chefs.

Starters: slightly salted fish ( trout, salmon, white fish ), smoked fish, creamed forest mushrooms, self made country bread etc.
