This guided tour departs from Ivalo in Finnish Lapland and takes you to Lake Lahajärvi to experience ice fishing, a Finnish winter tradition. Learn traditional Lapland winter fishing methods passed down through generations: drilling a hole in the ice ('kairaaminen'), ice fishing ('pilkkiminen') and catching fish with a net under the ice ('juomustus'). After fishing, build a campfire and cook the fish you caught in a variety of ways. All the equipment and tableware needed for cooking and eating are provided, so you can relax by the campfire in peaceful nature.
Depart at 10:00 AM from the Eräsoppi store in Ivalo and drive to Lake Lahajärvi. Please arrive at the store by 9:45 AM to get ready. The whole tour takes about 5 hours.
With your guide, try the traditional methods one by one: drilling a hole in the ice (kairaaminen), fishing with an ice rod (pilkkiminen) and catching fish with a net under the ice (juomustus). It is your chance to catch fish that grow in the cold, clear northern waters.
After fishing, build a fire and cook your catch in various ways over the outdoor campfire. Everything you need for cooking and eating is provided. You will return to the store around 3:15 PM.
※ Weather conditions can change quickly in winter.
※ Catches depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
