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.
