THE EXPERIENCE TO LIVE: An authentic ice fishing day with Lappitrek is a full day in a remote corner of the beautiful wilderness of a national park. We take you away from the crowds and noisy snowmobiles. We do it the old-fashioned way as we combine two activities in one. We begin the adventure by hiking with snowshoes (or skis if you want them) through the boreal forest to reach the lake and fishing spot. Once at the site, we find a lovely log hut that will keep us warm whenever needed as ice fishing is quite a static activity. During the activity the guide initiates you to the drilling, the preparation of the fishing rods, and the fishing itself. Then it's time to feel the serenity and remoteness of the place. You're there, on that lake, fishing and surrounded by the Arctic fells and the forest. Usually, our fishing time is divided into two sequences as we have lunch inside the hut around 1 pm. Expect a return in the twilight or darkness in case you come in December or January.

THE EXPERIENCE TO LIVE: This ice fishing program is recommended for families with young children and people who don't want to hike a long distance to get to the fishing spot (compare with the adventure program above called "Ice Fishing Day") but still have the dream to immerse themselves in the fabulous Arctic atmosphere of fishing on the ice of a beautiful lake in nature. During the activity, the guide introduces you to drilling, preparing the fishing rods, and fishing. When it's the right time for everyone, the guide serves a meal in the warmth of a kota hut or by the fire pit in a tipi tent. It is extremely important to wear four layers of clothing for this activity. Keep in mind that young children have a hard time staying out fishing for a long time.
