    Great Experience

    Cheryl_C, Feb 2025
    The guide picked us up at our hotel, and stopped by the office in the city centre to change into thermal suits and picked up the snow shoes. We then went to a lake 30 minutes away for the ice fishing and snow shoeing. It was the first time snow shoeing for us, and it was fun, mainly it helped us to walk easier as that day the snow was quite thick, without the snow shoes, it could go up to our knees. The guide taught us how to ice fish, from drilling holes to using a rod. And we were really lucky that day, we managed to catch a fish! Afterwards, we had grilled salmon and marshmallow in a tent, the salmon was quite good, just that 1 salmon out of the 6 we got was burnt and could not really be eaten. Still, we were satisfied with this trip :)

    Great day of activities. ...

    Slightly underwhelming...

    Charline_T, Nov 2023
    I would say... manage your expectations before signing up for this activity. Nothing to do with the activity organizer, but ice fishing is hardly anything like what you see on tv or IG. The baits provided were plastic neon worms which meant I had close to zero chance of actually baiting any fish. And this also meant that activity goers had to sit out in the -20C cold for anything between 10-30 mins for nothing, but perhaps for some instagrammable videos and photos. Overall, a little underwhelming and more of a miss than a hit.

    Charlotte is the best ice fishing instructor.

    Fantastyczne doswiadczenie w rozsadnej cenie co nie jest oczywiste w Rovanieni. Pyszny łosoś z grilla, super obsluga i urokliwe miejsce nad Jeziorem. Ryb nie udało się złowić ale zbawa przednia. Dziękujemy fantastycznej i bardzo pomocnej przewodniczce Charlotte.

    Un’esperienza da non perdere

    Bellissima esperienza! La consiglio a tutti. Noi non abbiamo pescato nulla ma sarebbe stato quasi impossibile con le lenze e le esche a disposizione tuttavia ritengo che pescare il pesce non sia il fulcro di questa attività. Credo sia impagabile la location, l’esperienza di trivellare il ghiaccio, il fuoco nel braciere per scaldarsi in mezzo al lago ghiacciato e poi, per finire, tutti nella baita a bere succo di mirtilli e mangiare biscotti ed un trancio di salmone che era veramente buonissimo. Un grazie speciale alla nostra guida MIRKO che è stata eccezionale! Fatela, fatela, fatela!!!

    Dás melhores experiências que já vivi!
