Bøla Kafe is a charming spot offering light refreshments, located just a short walk from the famous rock carving of the Bølarein ("the Bøla reindeer").
Saemien Sijte, the South Sámi museum and cultural centre, owns and operates Bøla Kafe. During the summer season, the café is open with a small shop and simple service including coffee and light snacks.
At Bøla, you can enjoy a drink, ice cream, and waffles. The shop offers a selection of gift items, both large and small. For a more substantial lunch or dinner with Sami food, we highly recommend coming to Saemien Sijte in Snåsa. You can find the summer menu here: Kafé – Saemien Sijte
The rock carvings
From Bøla Kafe, it’s a 300-metre walk to reach the famous rock carvings. They are beautifully situated by a lovely waterfall on the Bøla River. Along the way, you can explore around a dozen carvings, large and small. Some are not easy to spot – so take your time! The most well-known carving is the Bølarein – a life-sized depiction of a female reindeer. Welcome!
