Scan Magazine | Culture Feature | The Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos

the parliament hall, an auditorium with
capacity for in-house cinema theatre
and concerts, with interpretation fa-
cilities, a multipurpose hall, meeting
rooms, a café, and a recording studio
with editing facilities.

State-of-the-art facilities

Sajos is not only contemporary and im-
pressive in its visual expression and at-
mosphere, but it is also the largest con-
ference and events venue in northern
Lapland. Excellent conference amenities
and high-end technology go hand in hand
with genuine, living Sámi culture.

The centre offers a high international
standard for meetings, training events,
and conferences with up to 500 partici-

pants, including interpretation into four

languages. With state-of-the-art lighting

and sound, the premises are also per-

fect for concerts, theatre, exhibitions and

fairs, and for private occasions such as

weddings. In addition, Restaurant Caiju is

located on the first floor next to the lobby

and conference rooms, and also provides

special packages with catering.

With its unique setting in the heart of

Arctic nature, Sajos engages all the sens-

es, and the far north is the perfect setting

for learning and experiencing at a tranquil

pace. The area of Inari offers a wide vari-

ety of activities, such as hiking and kayak-

ing, but there are also plenty of opportu-

nities for relaxation. Guttorm emphasises

the attractiveness of the destination as a

meeting venue. “Away from the hustle and

bustle of the city, we are surrounded by

untouched nature and it’s very quiet here,

which is fantastic for company meetings

and events,” she says.

Sajos is conveniently located half an

hour from Ivalo Airport, which is just

over an hour’s flight from Helsinki.

There are plenty of accommodation op-

tions within walking distance in the vil-

lage of Inari, ranging from cosy cottages

to quality hotels.
