Overview

  • Ice fishing is one of the favourite winter pastimes in Finnish Lapland.

    We pick you up from your accommodation in Rovaniemi and drive to a quiet frozen lake in the forest. Your local guide shows how locals read the ice and choose a fishing spot, helps you drill your own hole and teaches traditional Finnish ice fishing with simple rods. All fish are released back into the lake.

    On the shore we make a campfire and warm up with hot drinks and a snack before driving back to Rovaniemi.
