🗺️ What to Expect

The day begins with a transfer from your selected pick-up point into the forested outskirts of Rovaniemi, where winter gear is provided and instructions are given before setting off. Once ready, the snowmobile ride starts, following marked trails through snowy woodland and open frozen terrain, with time to switch drivers if sharing.

After reaching a remote frozen lake, the pace changes as you step into ice fishing. Holes are drilled into the ice and guidance is given on traditional techniques used in Lapland. While waiting for a bite, the surroundings are quiet and open, with wide views across the snow-covered landscape.

If the fish are not biting, the experience continues around a campfire where a BBQ is prepared. Warm food and drinks are served before the return journey by snowmobile back through the winter scenery to the starting point.

📍 Location

The experience takes place in the wider Rovaniemi area, with travel into forest zones and frozen lakes just outside the city. These locations are chosen for their reliable winter conditions, open spaces, and natural surroundings that suit both snowmobiling and ice fishing.

Rovaniemi sits within the Arctic Circle, meaning long winter seasons and consistent snow cover. The route passes through forest tracks and open lake areas where wildlife sightings are possible and the environment feels noticeably remote from the city.

⚠️ Prerequisites

A valid car driving licence is required for anyone driving a snowmobile. Drivers must be 18 or over and comfortable handling a motor vehicle in winter conditions. Children can join depending on height restrictions, with specific seating arrangements applied for safety.

No previous snowmobiling or ice fishing experience is needed. Warm clothing is provided, and guidance is given throughout so you can take part even if it’s your first time in this kind of environment.
