Experience the Magic of Arctic Wilderness with Traditional Ice Fishing and Snowshoeing

Join us for a 6-hour adventure that begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Rovaniemi and takes you into the heart of Lapland’s wilderness. This small-group experience offers a perfect balance of activity and relaxation, allowing you to see how locals spend their free time with family and friends while enjoying the calm and beauty of Arctic nature. Your guide will look after you, share stories about Lapland’s nature, and ensure you feel right at home.

You’ll experience traditional ice fishing, a scenic snowshoe walk, and a tranquil exploration of the untouched wilderness—all at a relaxed, unhurried pace.

Your guide will lead you on a short walk to the ice, where you’ll receive a brief safety introduction before discovering the wonders of traditional ice fishing. Warm up with hot drinks prepared over an open fire during the day.
