Arctic Ice Fishing
Discover ice fishing in Rovaniemi on a peaceful frozen lake surrounded by snow-covered forests. Your guide introduces the equipment and shows you how to drill a hole through the thick ice, lower your line, and enjoy the excitement of waiting for a bite. No previous experience is needed, making this an inviting way to discover a winter tradition enjoyed by generations of locals. Enjoy the peace of the winter landscape and warm up beside the campfire with a hot drink. If you catch a fish, your guide can prepare and grill it over the fire for you. Warm winter overalls, snow boots, and all fishing equipment are included, so you can relax and make the most of your time on the frozen lake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous fishing experience?

No. Your guide shows you how to drill through the ice, set the line and read a bite. Ice fishing is deliberately simple — the waiting is the point.

What happens if I catch a fish?

Your guide prepares and grills it over the campfire for you.

Is equipment included?

Yes. Warm winter overalls, snow boots and all fishing equipment are included, along with return transfers from Rovaniemi.

Is it safe to stand on a frozen lake?

Lapland’s lakes freeze to a thickness that carries vehicles in midwinter, and your guide selects the spot and drills the holes.

Is there somewhere to warm up?

Yes. A campfire with hot drinks sits beside the fishing spot, so you can alternate between the line and the fire.

For a private pond with a far better chance of a catch, see the private ice fishing experience. Guests often pair a morning on the ice with an afternoon snowshoeing tour or an evening Northern Lights tour.
