Berry season 🫐
Some straight into the mouth 😄�Some come home with us.

One of the best things about late summer and early autumn up here in Arctic Sweden is all the berries. Blueberries, lingonberries, crowberries… and earlier in the season, the golden cloudberries.

For breakfast, desserts, juices and sauces – and some saved in the freezer for later, when the forest is covered in snow.

We’re lucky to have nature’s own pantry just outside the door.
And… picking berries is also a pretty good excuse to spend time in the forest ❤️🌲

Do you have a favorite recipe for your berries?

One of Europe's oldest living musical traditions is still alive in Sápmi today 💚🎶

Joik is the traditional way of singing in Sámi culture, passed down through countless generations. But unlike many other musical traditions, a joik isn't about telling a story about someone or something – you joik the person, the place, the animal, or the feeling itself.

Traditionally, joiks have helped preserve memories of loved ones, important places, and meaningful moments. In this way, joik has become both a musical tradition and a living memory passed from one generation to the next.

In this video, performs a joik by the Sámi artist Sofia Jannok, whose music has inspired her since she was a child 🎶

For us, joik is a beautiful way of sharing Sámi culture, stories, and traditions with our guests here at Huuva Hideaway! ❤️💙💚💛

So, what happened this summer at Huuva Hideaway?
�Well… quite a lot, actually ❤️

It started with the light. Bright evenings, fresh green everywhere - and suddenly everything started growing at once.

In June we picked small, soft spruce tips to save for our kitchen.
Then summer just… happened.

We celebrated Midsummer. We went fishing, warmed the sauna, jumped into the lake, sat around the fire and enjoyed those evenings when nobody really wants to go inside.

We baked. We cooked. We walked in the forest.
And we gathered around tables and talked - a big part of what we do here 😉
Because food is important to us, of course. But so are the stories around it.
Where it comes from. Why we eat it. What grows here. And what life in Sápmi and Tornedalen is really like – when you live here, not just when you visit.

We shared meals with guests at our outdoor restaurant in the middle of the forest,
and packed up our kitchen for a very special food experience for wedding guests at beautiful Vasikkavuoma.

Cloudberries turned golden, blueberries ripened, and freezers slowly filled with summer.

And then something very special happened.�
Our Huuva family grew ❤️
Baby Isak arrived - Maja’s son - and suddenly we are three generations at Huuva Hideaway.

In August we shared another northern summer tradition: crayfish 🦞 With hats, lanterns, stories and songs around the table.

When we look back, it’s not really everything we’ve done that we remember most.
It’s the PEOPLE we’ve met, the questions, the laughter and the conversations around the table.

We're so happy to have met all YOU Guests from near and far, who have been curious about our food, our culture, our nature and our way of life - and our little place in the forest that we call home.

That was a bit of our summer ❤️🌿
How was your summer?
Did you visit Sweden, Sápmi, Norrbotten or Liehittäjä?
if not, maybe we'll meet next summer 😉

Here in the Arctic, the sauna is more than just a tradition - it's a way of life 🔥🧖‍♀️💦

For generations, people have gathered in the sauna to relax, reconnect, and take care of both body and mind. It's a tradition that still lives on here in Liehittäjä, where we enjoy the sauna several times a week - always on Wednesdays and Saturdays, just as people have done for generations.

And of course, no sauna experience is complete without a refreshing dip afterwards! There's something about running barefoot from the warmth of the sauna and diving into the cool water that makes you feel like a child again… 😄💚

Simple, refreshing, and one of our favourite Arctic traditions!

Have you ever shared a meal in the middle of the forest? 🌲🔥🍽️

In this clip, you'll join us and our guests at our outdoor guestaurant. It's a place to slow down, gather around the fire, and experience the stories, flavours, and traditions of Sápmi.

This was once a traditional reindeer gathering site - a place with a unique atmosphere that many describe as peaceful, almost sacred. Here, Henry prepares traditional dishes over the open fire while Pia shares stories about Sámi culture, local ingredients, and life in the Arctic.

Sometimes, inspired by the moment, our guests even begin to joik. Surrounded by the forest, sharing food, stories, and laughter together, it becomes an experience that stays with you long after the fire has gone out 😉💚

Have you ever experienced a traditional Swedish kräftskiva (a crayfish party)? 🦞🇸🇪✨

It's one of Sweden's most beloved summer traditions. Friends and family gather around a beautifully decorated table to enjoy dill-scented crayfish, Västerbotten pie, freshly baked bread, songs, laughter, and a toast or two as the bright summer evening stretches on.

A crayfish party is about much more than the food. It's a joyful celebration of friendship, storytelling, music, and the long, light-filled nights of the Swedish summer - where memories are made around the table and the taste of summer lingers long after the evening ends.

This August, we're hosting a few special crayfish evenings here at Huuva Hideaway. Our gathering on 8 August is already fully booked, but we still have a few places available on 13 August for anyone curious to experience this joyful Swedish tradition with us 🥰🦞💚

Have you ever been inside a traditional Sámi Lávvu? ☕🔥

For the Sámi people, the lávvu is much more than just a shelter. It’s a home while following the reindeer throughout the seasons, designed to be taken down, moved and raised again wherever life will lead.

At the heart of the lávvu is the árran - the fireplace. This is where meals are prepared, handicrafts made, stories shared, and knowledge will be passed, from one generation to the next.

Entering a lávvu comes with tradition. Guests should wait at the entrance until they are invited inside, then take their place on the left side of the fire, while the right side is reserved for cooking and the hosts.

The floor often covered with fresh birch branches and reindeer hides, creating a warm and comfortable place to rest beneath the opening at the top of the lávvu.

Here at Huuva Hideaway, we still gather around the fire in the lávvu to brew coffee, share stories, and simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Looking up at the sky through the opening above, with the fire gently crackling below, is a moment many describe as calming, grounding, and good for the soul 💚

Have you ever heard of Surströmming? 😋🐟🇸🇪. One of Sweden’s most talked-about food traditions.

Surströmming is fermented Baltic herring, enjoyed for centuries and generations in northern Sweden.
Yes, it has a famous aroma - but beyond the first impression a rich, salty, UMAMI flavour and Arctic food heritage.

At Huuva Hideaway, we believe food always tastes better when you understand the story behind it. So, we invite curious guests to join us for our Surströmming & Storytelling Experience:

🐟 29 August
🐟 3 September

We will serve and enjoy this legendary meal the traditional way, with flatbread, almond potatoes, tomatoes, onions, fresh dill and all the classic accompaniments.

Around the table we’ll share stories about Surströmming, Arctic food traditions, Sámi culture, and what life has been like in the North - then and now.

Come with curiosity - or a little courage 😉🤗

Anyway you will (probably) leave with a story to tell.

Will you join us? 💚
