Long ago, just north of Nipfjället, on a starry spring night when the full moon was at its highest, a little reindeer was born. The spring night was quiet and still when suddenly the forest lit up. A herd of reindeer slowly began to wake up, thinking it was morning. It resembled sunbeams, and suddenly the night became bright. It was magical moonbeams shining from the moon down onto the herd. The beams wandered from reindeer to reindeer and finally stopped on the newborn little reindeer calf. The whole herd gathered in a ring around the newborn reindeer. That night, they gave him the name Aske – the Sami name for moon.
Years passed, and Aske grew up to become a big reindeer. The magical moonbeams had given Aske special powers – he was the bravest and kindest reindeer of them all. When any of his reindeer friends became scared, Aske always helped with encouragement.
Playing with the children at Idre Fjäll was Aske's favorite thing, and instead of eating leaves and lichens, he preferred to grill sausages with bread and drink juice. Aske wasn't like other reindeer; he was friends with everything and everyone – from the trout in Lake Burusjön that he used to swim with, to the lemmings in the forest below Städjan that he used to play hide-and-seek with.
When the rest of the reindeer herd was searching for new grazing grounds, Aske always stayed at Idre Fjäll. Here, there were always fun adventures around the corner – like skiing, climbing, swimming, cycling, and of course, playing with all the children!
If you're at Idre Fjäll and see the moon shining in the sky, it's Aske recharging his powers. It doesn't happen every night, but keep a lookout, because you might also become even braver from the magical moonbeams.
