Arctic Bushcraft Skills & Ice Floating Experience

Combine Traditional Arctic Bushcraft Skills With A Refreshing Ice Floating Experience In Finland

This immersive Arctic adventure is specifically designed for participants aged 15 and older, offering a perfect blend of survival training and unique wellness activities. The day begins with a comprehensive bushcraft program where guests learn essential skills such as building temporary shelters, mastering fire-making techniques, and understanding traditional hunting and fishing methods. This morning session provides a deep dive into the practical knowledge required to survive and thrive in the harsh, beautiful conditions of the Arctic environment.

After a hearty lunch designed to refuel participants for the afternoon, the experience shifts toward a unique ice floating activity. Guests are outfitted in specialized drysuits complete with warm hoods and gloves before stepping into a prepared hole in the ice. This allows for a safe and exhilarating sensation of floating in freezing water, supported by the suit's buoyancy. It is a rare opportunity to play in the icy water or simply relax while surrounded by snow.

The adventure concludes with a traditional Finnish sauna session located by the lake, providing a warm and soothing end to the day's excitement. The contrast between the icy water and the intense heat of the sauna is a hallmark of Finnish wellness culture. For those seeking an extra dose of adrenaline, optional ice swimming is available, allowing guests to fully embrace the invigorating power of the Arctic climate in a safe and controlled setting.

This tour successfully combines practical outdoor education with fun, wellness-focused activities, creating a memorable day in the heart of the Arctic. The program is inclusive, with options for wheelchair users to join a snowmobile ride to experience the stunning environment in a safe and accessible manner. By integrating survival skills with the relaxing benefits of a sauna, this experience offers a balanced and engaging way to explore the unique natural beauty of the Finnish winter landscape.
