Arvidsjaurbingo

Discover Arvidsjaur with bingo!

Discover Arvidsjaur and enjoy the summer with bingo! Arvidsjaurbingo is created for summer of 2021, where all activities are intended to be implemented within the municipality. It is not a competition where the result is to be sent to us, but why not compete with a friend, colleague or - yourself. How many rows of bingo will you get this summer? When publishing something in social media, feel free to use #Arvidsjaurbingo, and follow Arvidsjaur Lapland on Facebook and Instagram for more inspiration! Below is bingo for printing at home. Printed copies in a limited edition will be available in some places within the municipality in a couple of weeks, but those who want can print and start discovering today! If you do not want / can not print, there is also the possibility for those with a cellphone to cross over activities with the help of an editing tool…2
Hiking Summer activities

Hiking in Arvidsjaur

The forest is quiet around you and the only sound you can hear is your footsteps accompanied by a gentle song of forest birds. The shadows are still long but the morning air is both warm and clear. You look out over a lake, it looks like a mirror. Small ripples on the water surface reveals that the fish is awake and on the other side there is a couple of reindeer grazing on the marsh. After a while you start the hike up to the top of the mountain. The view is amazing and in the clear air you see the mountain peaks in the distance and a golden eagle hunting for prey.2
Culture Highlights Summer activities

Lappstaden – The sámi church town

Lappstaden is one of Arvidsjaur's great landmarks. When the northern lands got their first churches in the 17th century, the Sámi needed a place to stay when attending compulsory church services. The locals built a number of Forest Sámi huts to house those of the Sámi who lived nomadically. Here, in central Arvidsjaur, there is now the largest collection of Forest Sámi huts in all of Sápmi. The huts in Lappstaden are privately owned. Daily guided tours with local personalities sharing the history of Lappstaden are held in the evenings, all through the summer.2
