An insulated suit lets you lie back and look at the winter sky without feeling the lake the way you would in a swimming costume, then you change into warm clothes again for the ride toward town. 📋 Key Details Duration: Around 3 hours including transfer Location: Frozen lake near Rovaniemi To float: At least 140 cm tall Group size: Minimum 2 guests Pickup: Hotel and listed meeting points in town 🧊 What to Expect A van ride from town takes you to the lake while you stay in your own warm clothes. On arrival you change into a buoyant, waterproof suit and hear how to sit at the edge, lie back, and come out without rushing. Nobody enters until that briefing is finished, because the opening looks smaller once you are next to it and questions are easier on the ice than in the water. The float itself is still and short enough that the cold stays interesting rather than grim. Face and any gap at the wrists can still feel the air, while the suit holds the rest of you on the surface. When the guide calls you in, you use the same calm steps in reverse, then change back into the warm layers you brought and travel toward town. 📍 Location Frozen lakes sit a short transfer from Rovaniemi, hard enough in winter for a cut opening and a quiet horizon of snow and trees. On a clear night the sky can steal the show. Daylight floats are about the ice and the silence, with the same suit and the same calm entry either way. The site is not a remote expedition, which keeps the experience focused on the water rather than a long approach. You are not hunting a lakeside car park on your own. The transfer is part of the three-hour window, and the lake stop is the reason for the outing. ✅ Prerequisites No swimming skill is required, because the suit is built to keep you on the surface. You should be happy putting your face toward open winter water and following the guide's entry steps, which are about balance on ice rather than swim fitness. Guests need to be at least 140 cm tall to float, as the suit and the opening are sized around that height. Shorter children can still come along but will not go in the water. Wear warm clothes for the transfer and for the time after you leave the suit, because the after-chill is real if you only brought a thin layer. ⭐ Why Choose Us Cold-water sessions sit alongside safari work that started in 2005, with buoyancy first and then a calm entry. Guides keep the group small enough that nobody… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Insulated, waterproof floating suit Guided ice-floating session on a frozen lake Safety briefing at the ice edge Hotel pickup from listed Rovaniemi points ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Travel to Rovaniemi Meals Warm clothes for the transfer and after the float Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Warm clothes and a hat for the transfer A dry layer for after the float Phone number you will use during your stay ## FAQs ### Do I need to be able to swim? No. The suit is built to keep you on the surface. You lie back and float rather than swimming laps in the opening. You still need to follow the guide when you sit down at the edge and when you stand up again. That is about balance on ice, not about swim fitness. ### How tall do I need to be? To float you need to be at least 140 cm. The suit and the opening in the ice are sized around that height so you can lie back safely. Shorter children can join the outing but will not go in the water. Share heights with the team beforehand so expectations are clear. ### How long does the float last? The whole outing is about 3 hours including transfer and changing. Time in the water is shorter than the full window and is paced so you stay comfortable. Your confirmation shows the live start. Evening dates may line up with darker skies; daytime dates are about the ice and the quiet. ### Will I get wet and cold? The suit is waterproof and insulated, so you should not feel the lake the way you would in a swimming costume. Face and any gap at the wrists can still feel the air. Warm clothes for the van matter. Once you are out of the suit the after-chill is real if you only brought a t-shirt. ### Where do we meet? Listed hotels and meeting points in Rovaniemi, or the office on Pirkkakatu 2. The team confirms pickup point and time. Be ready in warm town clothes. You change into the float suit at the lake, not in the hotel. ### Can I wear glasses or take a phone? Ask the guide on the day about glasses straps. Phones do not belong in the water; leave them with dry kit or in a pocket on the bank if the guide agrees. If you want a photo, say so before you enter so someone on the bank can take it. Do not plan to hold a camera in the opening. ### What if the weather is poor? Wind and snowfall can make the lake edge unpleasant even if the ice is sound. The guide may shorten time in the water or change the plan. If the session cannot run safely, the team will contact you to reschedule. Keep your stay number to hand. ### Is food included? No meal is included with this session. Eat before pickup if you want something substantial, because the lake stop is about the float rather than a picnic. The focus is the water and getting warm again. A hotel breakfast or an early dinner around the session works better than expecting food on the ice. ### Is this the same as ice swimming? You stay in a full suit and float rather than dipping in a swimsuit. It is calmer and less of a shock, which is the point of this outing. If you want a traditional ice swim, this is not that product. Ask the team if you are looking for a different kind of cold-water session. ### What should I tell the team? Heights for anyone hoping to float, a phone number for pickup, and any worry about cold or enclosed suits. Those details help the guide plan the opening. If someone is coming only to watch, say so. That helps them plan space at the ice without delaying people who are going in. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18dbef2a-2c21-472b-9105-edfa6ec55c29.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 2 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
