Ice Fishing in Lapland

What to Expect:

Experience the peaceful tradition of Ice Fishing, a beloved Arctic activity practiced by locals for generations. This serene adventure takes you to a remote frozen lake in Lapland, surrounded by stunning winter landscapes and complete tranquility. Ice fishing is perfect for those looking to unwind in nature while trying their luck at catching a fish beneath the ice. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, private tours are available upon request.

Your ice fishing adventure begins with a pick-up from a designated meeting point or your accommodation, followed by a short drive away from the city to a peaceful, frozen lake. After a brief walk through the Arctic forest, you’ll arrive at the lake, where your guide will teach you how to drill a hole in the ice and show you the basic techniques for fishing with a pilkki (ice fishing rod). Patience is key as you sit back and wait for a bite, all while taking in the quiet beauty of Lapland’s nature.

While fishing, your guide will prepare a campfire on the shore, where you can warm up with hot drinks and enjoy traditional Finnish snacks. This peaceful moment allows you to fully appreciate the serene wilderness around you. The experience is about relaxation and connection with nature, with no guarantee of catching a fish.

This activity is suitable for people of all ages, and no prior fishing experience is required. Small groups ensure a personalized and peaceful experience, allowing you to fully enjoy the tranquility of the Arctic wilderness.

Adventure and Flexibility:

Ice fishing is a flexible experience suitable for all fitness levels and ages. Whether you’re seeking a quiet moment in nature or looking to combine the activity with other Arctic adventures like snowshoeing or snowmobiling, ice fishing can be tailored to your preferences. You’ll also be equipped with proper winter gear to ensure you stay warm during the trip. Small group or private tours can be arranged depending on your needs.
