Highlights

Embark on a snowshoeing adventure tour in Lapland that goes beyond sightseeing to offer a hands-on introduction to Arctic survival skills. Led by an experienced local guide, this immersive journey takes you through the snow-blanketed forests just outside Rovaniemi, where you'll trek across pristine trails in snowshoes. As you reach a remote, frozen lake, the adventure deepens—here, you'll have the chance to try ice fishing, drilling through the ice in hopes of catching your own lunch.


The experience continues with a lesson in primitive fire-making, where you’ll learn to start a fire without matches—just like the early Arctic settlers. If you’re lucky with your catch, you’ll cook your fish over the open flames you created. This tour not only brings you closer to Lapland’s breathtaking wilderness but also teaches valuable skills in orienteering, fire-building, and traditional fishing, making it a must-do winter activity in Rovaniemi for those looking to connect with nature and learn something new.

  • Traditional Survival Skills: Learn key techniques that Lappish cultures have long relied on to endure the Arctic wilderness.
  • Navigation With Map & Compass: Use traditional tools to orient yourself in the snow-covered landscape under expert guidance.
  • Ice Fishing & Campfire Cooking: Catch fish in a pristine frozen lake and prepare your meal over an open flame in the wild.
  • Natural Foraging Insights: Discover how to identify and use local plants for food, natural remedies, and survival essentials.

Upon reaching a vast frozen lake, try your hand at ice fishing—if you catch a fish, your guide will show you how to cook it over the open fire. Whether you catch something or not, enjoy a warm Finnish barbecue snack while gathered around the fire, listening to stories and tips from your expert guide. By the end of the experience, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of Arctic survival and the stunning Lappish landscape.
