Ice Fishing Experience
Gone fishing? The clear arctic waters of Lake Kilpisjärvi are abundant with arctic char, trout, and whitefish, to name a few.
This guided tour provides you with the chance to try one of the most popular wintertime hobbies among locals. First, we drill a fishing hole through the thick ice. Then, you’ll sit comfortably on reindeer skins and use the traditional hook and line method to catch fish. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of feeling a tug on the line – a heart-racing moment that turns patience into pure triumph.
Distance and duration: 15 km / 3 h. This tour package includes guiding, thermal outfit, fishing gear, a hot drink, and a pastry.
