Top Rovaniemi Ice Climbing

Get the most out of your time in Lapland by spending a day in the great outdoors. You’ll save time by trying two activities in a day—ice fishing and snowshoeing. Take the hassle out of navigating by having door-to-door transport included. Once you get to the Arctic forests, you’ll snowshoe over a frozen lake, and test out your fishing skills. Another highlight is learning how to make fire without the use of matches, and grilling sausages.

We will travel 20 minutes from Rovaniemi by minivan and take a short walk to reach the lake. The location is our own private place away from the crowds in the middle of the peaceful nature. The main activity is of course fishing itself, but the frozen lake also offers an ideal setting for landscape and wildlife photos. Once we reach the lake, we will teach you the basics of ice fishing and enjoy a pleasant afternoon fishing and photographing. We will also set up a campfire in traditional Lappish Teepee and enjoy some hot drinks and snacks – and of course fry our catch of the day!
