If there´s two must-to-do things while you´re in Finland it must be Ice Fishing and Skiing. This tour Combines them both!

Skiing is one of the most popular sports in Finland. An age-old, environmentally friendly way of moving on the snow in the Arctic. It might sound difficult, but the fact is – it is not! Everyone can ski with our special made deep snow skis. Ice fishing is an ancient way of catching a fish under the ice during wintertime, practiced in Lapland for centuries. The idea is to drill a hole through the Ice and lay your bait through that hole. The advantage is – when you can move over the icy lakes by skis, you can easily reach the best fishing spots!

What to expect?

This privately organised tour takes us to a beautiful lake located half an hour drive from
Rovaniemi. After we reach our private Lappish teepee, it´s time to put
skis on and head towards the top spots where fishes are swarming under
the Ice. Skiing on the frozen lake is super exciting and fun! After
reaching the spot, we will teach you the basics of Ice Fishing. All the
fishing equipment are high quality standard and with some help from your
guide you are ready to catch your first fish under the ice!

After
fishing, it is time to ski back to our warm, private Lappish tepee
right next to a frozen lake. There, we will fry some sausages, enjoy hot
beverages and of course – Fry our catch of the day!

Activity is always
guided by a professional photographer, who will share his knowledge in
landscape and nature photography as well. You will also get best photos
from the tour delivered to your email!
