A reindeer herders working day No matter what weather, the reindeer herder must take care of his animals. This year they had to move the reindeers early from the coast to the mountains, because of the thin layer of ice covering the ground. Now the reindeers are fenced when they are waiting to be released higher up in the mountains. Xpress Arjeplog has met Jonas Jonsson that has moved his reindeers from Skellefteå to Arjeplog. - Since they couldn´t get food from the ground in Skellefteå we moved them closer to the summer pasture. Now I give them lichen, hay bales and pellets, so they will have all the nutrition they need. I visit them every day, to give them food and to make sure that they are alright. When I ask about the white reindeers, Jonas says: - Here in the North we have an unusal high ratio of white reindeers. They are more bullied and more sleepy than the others.

Sometimes when the herd has been lying down sleeping, and we are moving them on - the white ones can stay on the ground and I have to wake them up. They look very surprised when we pull their horns. A few of the reindeers have a GPS around their necks, so their hiking paths can be stored and you can see where they are. Jonas Jonsson, Maskaure Sami Community, is pulling down lichen for the reindeers to eat.

”Hot seat”
Favourite food I’m openminded in food; things like barbecue; cooked on open fire. Present car Volkswagen Multivan (T5) and Opel Corsa. Still a Volkswagen T3 Syncro Single-Cab to be refurbished some time. Dream car Some fun car like a Caterham maybe?
about Answering the question jeplog more accomodation in Ar Hotel accommodation in Arjeplog kommun needs to increase in volume if we are to meet the large amounts of people who want to come here, but it is a challenge to try to put together financing to hotel rooms that are occupied for such a short period of the year. Therefore, the winter test industry is also depending on the development of tourism in Arjeplog throughout the rest of the year, which is something we continue to work for. We put quite a lot of resources to help our tourism businesses to reach out into the world - it is important and it is an area where we are mutually depending on one another. Arjeplog kommun itself does not start up any businesses, in any area whether it may be testing or tourism, but we help our existing entrepreneurs with all available resources.

Family My Wife Diane and 2 daughters, Lene(9) and Pia(5) Home Small village(Aurich) near Vaihingen/Enz, west of Stuttgart Company Knorr-Bremse Occupation Software engineer for vehicle dynamic control What about your job I work on further development of ESP for heavy vehicles like trucks, busses and similar. Our work in Arjeplog is very interesting and diversified, but also challenging and hard to plan.
What’s important in life Health, social relations, some level of freedom Spare time activities I own a small vineyard I inherited from my grandmother. To grow the wine, make, enjoy wine and care for the landscape is quite time-consuming. I enjoy to go skiing and mountaineering. Dreams about the future Since my kids get older, we already are able to go skiing as family more and more. To find more spare-time for going in the mountains will be a target. Do you have a motto in life For everything there is a fixed time, and a time for every business under the sun. (Ecclesiastes, 3-1 ff ) The place you enjoy beeing most A snowy sunny top of a mountain with a nice Panorama view. A dream trip Maybe a skiing trip to the rockies?
Ferrari event
Do you have any special skills I have fun and some success in fixing things.
Ferrari has had an event for 10 days at the Hotel Silverhatten. 300 customers (30 every day) are here to experience the new Ferrari GTC4 lusso (4WD with 690hp) on Lapland Ice Driving tracks (Cartest) and eat well. Some also enjoy activities such as snowmobile driving from Experience Center, guided tours of Iglootel, or dog sled tours with Cold-Nose-Huskies. All groups eat dinner in a hunting cabin, with local specialities. - Clients were coming from all over europe, including Russia. 20 Ferrari lusso for a total of 65 000 000 SEK were dedicated to this event, Eric Gallardo President of Lapland Ice Driving, says.
Something you learned from your parents that you have passed on to your children The Motto of the red-cross Organisation, I’m member in since I am can think: Help, without asking whom (Henry Dunant). Something you want to say to people in Arjeplog I’m impressed about the various spare time activities offered to and from people in Arjeplog.

Mount Niebsurte – Wild harvest in Laisdalen
Lisa Angberg and Thierry de Pablos have started their own business with locally produced products like syrup, salt, herbs and tea. They call the business ”Mount Niebsurte” since they live close to that mountain and they harvest a lot of their products there. The product called “Jägarsalt” (Hunters salt) has a history from the 1300s.
Thierry de Pablos
Lisa Angberg
Big Bear Cabin In the cabin you can enjoy the sauna or just relax in front of the fireplace and look at the view over mount Niebsurte. Lisa and Pablo also provides full service with food, on request. 4
They also let out a big cabin ”Stora Björnstugan” (Big Bear Cabin) with a stunning view, in Laisvallby. The cabin accommodates eight persons in four rooms and it also contains a kitchen, living area and a sauna. Last year they were rated 9,7 out of 10 on booking.com - a website that has changed their possibilities to reach the customers. Many customers call when they pass on their way to or from Norway, since they have found them on the Internet. Last year they had approximately 850 guest nights – more than 150 booked nights. Their customers are families, workers, car testers and outdoor people. Many wants to enjoy the wilderness and at the same time live comfortable in the cabin. You can find them on Facebook: “Big Bear cabin in Laisvallby” or “Stora Björnstugan”. ”Stora Björnstugan” can also be found on Instagram and on the webpage: storabjornstugan.se

In Sweden we have some special Easter traditions:
* Påskkärring (children dressed up like old women with painted rosy cheeks) This is an old legend that says that a witch flies on a broom to the Brocken (Blåkulla) This tradition looks different in different parts of Sweden. Here the ”påskkärring” walks around in the neighbourhood and wishes happy Easter and get some small change or sweets.
Silver Lodge
Swedes belong to the world elite of eating sweets! The average Swede eats 16 kilo of sweets every year. During Easter we eat 1,4 kilos per person. That is 6000 tons totally in the whole country.
This is the last issue for this season! I want to thank everyone for all the support I have had, all the partners for the contributions and advertising. Thanks to all persons that I have interview and the ones that has helped me with the distribution. I am looking forward to the next season, with new ideas and a fresh start. Thank you very much!
