You will head away from Rovaniemi to find the perfect peaceful place to start your trip. Before heading into the forests, you will be given some instructions on how to walk with the snowshoes. As you snowshoe through the quiet snowy landscapes, you will already feel the harmony of Lapland nature that surrounds you.
Soon you will end up on the frozen expanse of a lake. It is time to find a promising spot to try to catch your lunch! Your guide will help you drill your hole in the ice, and will teach you the basic techniques of how to ice fish. Then, it is just a matter of time and patience before you can feel the first bite of the fish!
While you are fishing, your guide will prepare a fire on the shore of the lake for you. Some typical Finnish snacks and hot drinks will be waiting for you around the fire. If you manage to catch a fish (of a decent size), your guide will happily prepare it, cook it straight over the fire and add it to the menu of the day! If the fish are undersized, we will quickly return them to the lake without unnecessarily harming them.
After this ice fishing experience, it will be time to put back on the snowshoes and head back to Rovaniemi!
