Just a little bit longer… 🌌

When the dark October sky comes alive, you simply can’t look away. Colours dance and shimmer above you: green, purple, blue, red, pink… and did I mention green?

And the stars! ✨

You lose track of time.
And even when it gets a little chilly, you never want to go inside.
October nights like these are made for aurora watching and stargazing.

Just step outside… into everyday life in the North.

What does silence look like?
Morning mist over the forest🍂
Golden light through the trees
A reindeer moving slowly.

This is early October.
One of the most beautiful, magical and peaceful seasons in Arctic Sweden.
Wish you were here so we could share it with you 💕

Colours, do we need them? 😉

Imagine life, food, clothes and changing seasons in black and white…⚫️⚪️

Nature gives us a whole gallery of colours to enjoy! The bright, pale yellow sun in a March morning sky, or the soft blueish-pink a late September evening.

Right now, autumn seems to offer new shades and nuances every day.

Which colour makes YOU happy? 🍂
💛 Birch Gold
🤎 Pine Needle Ochre
🧡 Rowanberry Orange
❤️ Lingonberry Red
💚 Moss Green
🤎 Anthill Brown
🩵 Clear Sky Blue

As summer slowly turns into a colorful autumn, we look back with grateful hearts ❤️

This summer has brought so many wonderful people to Huuva Hideaway - guests from near and far, wonderful encounters, shared moments and new memories.

We celebrated Midsummer with guests from Sweden, France and Germany. We explored nature’s pantry and shared meals around the fire, deep in the forest, with guests from Sweden, Italy, the USA and Belgium. We shared the taste and flavors of Arctic Sweden at an intimate little wedding, a magic August day at Vasikkavuoma hay mire.

Later came our crayfish and surströmming gatherings with guests from Sweden, Germany and Switzerland. Wonderful to see how also children love to try new tastes!

Thank you to everyone who allowed us to share our place, our Sámi and Tornedalian culture, our food, stories and traditions with you.
Every meeting leaves something behind 🤗

The most precious gift this summer, arrived at the end of July. We welcomed little baby Isak, son to our daughter Maja 💛

We’re enjoying the colours of autumn now, and filling our freezers and pantry with meat, fish and berries for the months ahead.

We will soon take a little time off, rest and recharge for the next summer season.
This winter will be a quieter one at Huuva Hideaway, with more time to enjoy the snow, family life and the privilege of watching baby Isak grow.

Thank you, summer!
For the people, flavors, laughter and all the memories we created together🔥

Autumn came early to the Arctic parts of Sweden this year 🍂🍁🌲

Here in Liehittäjä, the landscape has already begun to change. There’s a crispness in the air, the nights are colder and the forests are shifting into their beautiful autumn colours.

In Sámi culture, the year is traditionally divided into eight seasons rather than four, following the changes in nature, the reindeer and the work throughout the year.

September and October mark tjakta - autumn. The days can still be warm and sunny, while the nights bring the first frost. There are berries and mushrooms to gather, but autumn is also an important time for hunting and reindeer herding. Before the reindeer rut begins, the traditional autumn slaughter takes place.

For us at Huuva Hideaway, this is a time to enjoy and gather what nature still has to offer, watch the landscape transform and prepare for the colder seasons ahead 🍄🫐🧺

Each of the eight seasons has its own rhythm, traditions and connection to the land - something we love sharing with our guests here in Sápmi ❤️💙💚💛

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!
