Čávžo Canyon an unforgettable nature experience

One of few riverboat tours to Čávžo – Sautso Canyon, with exclusive access and delicious coffee break by the riverside overlooking the canyon.

The area around Čávžu - Sautso canyon is the reindeer grazing area of our siida and you will therefore meet locally known guides who can always tell you the little extra either about the riverboat, the nature and the surrounding landscape and not least the dam. At Čávžu - Sautso, we will go inside the mountain, and you will hear more about its technical details. Before we head back home to Máze, we will invite you to a small gáfestallan in the lavvo we have set up by the dam. Gáfestallan is our way of telling more about each other and getting to know each other over a good cup of campfire coffee and a small snack.

We will tell you the story about the gigantic hydropower dam and how it could have drowned the village if not for Norways biggest demonstration for the fight for Sámi rights.

This is a unique experience for those who want to indulge the wonderful nature from Máze to Čávžo - Sautso canyon with a traditional river boat. With an almost exclusive Sámi population, many living a reindeer-herding lifestyle, Máze itself is a quiet spot between the city Áltá and the town Guovdageaidnu (Kautokeino).
