Highlights

Venture beyond Rovaniemi’s snowy streets and uncover the art of ice fishing on a frozen lake! This is a quintessential Lapland experience wrapped in serene winter beauty. Just a 20-minute minivan ride from the city, this tour drops you at a private lakeside retreat. Far from the crowds, a short stroll through crisp, untouched snow leads to a pristine, ice-clad expanse. Here, beneath a meter-thick frozen shield, fish await, and your guide will reveal the secrets of coaxing them out. Drill through the ice, bait the line, and master the patient pull. It’s a hands-on plunge into Arctic tradition, set against a postcard-perfect backdrop of snow-laden trees and endless white.


While you fish, the lake’s stillness invites you to snap stunning landscape shots or capture glimpses of wildlife tracks crisscrossing the snow. As the afternoon unfolds, gather in a traditional Lappish teepee where a crackling campfire warms the air. Sip hot drinks, munch on snacks, and—if luck swims your way—sizzle your fresh catch over the flames. With transfers included and a small-group vibe, this 3.5-hour tour blends adventure, tranquillity, and a taste of the wild. A perfect slice of Lapland’s frozen charm.
