Arctic Ice Fishing

What Makes It Special

Ice fishing has been part of life in Lapland for generations.

We'll head onto a frozen lake together, drill your own hole in the ice and settle in to see what the lake has to offer. There's no rush. Just fresh air, warm drinks and the quiet that makes Lapland feel so special.

What to Expect

• Head onto the ice – Walk out onto a frozen lake and take in the vast Arctic landscape before we get started.
• Learn the basics – Your local guide will show you how to drill your hole, set up your gear, and fish through the ice.
• Quiet winter moments – Ice fishing is calm and slow by nature — a peaceful break from the noise of everyday life.
• Warm drinks included – We keep things cosy with hot drinks while you wait for a bite beneath the ice.
• Beginner-friendly – No experience needed. This is an easygoing activity that suits families, first-timers, and anyone curious about real Lapland traditions.
