Arctic Ice Fishing

Local Activity

Ice fishing is one of Lapland’s most traditional winter activities — calm, simple, and deeply connected to local life. On a frozen Arctic lake, you’ll learn the basics from a local guide, drill your own hole, and try your luck at catching fish beneath the ice.

With warm drinks and the quiet of the frozen landscape around you, it’s a peaceful Arctic experience that suits both beginners and families.

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.
