Please note that departure time may vary depending on seasons and availability, so please kindly check the email we send after reservations for the exact pick-up time.
Departure: any time between 9 am and 10 am
Duration: 6-7 hours
After the hotel pick-up, head to a place called Norvajärvi, where you will gear up and strap on snowshoes, and get ready to step into the magical snowy forest for a hike. Escorted by your professional guide, walk through the fairytale-like woods in silver white snow as you enjoy the unique snowshoeing experience.
Your hike stops at the lake, where you start ice fishing. The guide will show you the way to use the equipment to drill a hole on the icy lake. Drop your line, sit back and wait for fish to bite. The sight of a calm and peaceful nature allows you to relax, as you enjoy the scenery. Gather around the bonfire afterward, grill some salmon, sausage and the fish you catch, and taste the Lappish delicious cuisine as you warm up with a steaming blueberry tea.
After you refresh yourself with a barbecue, put on a floating survival suit and head to the open water area. Gaze up the sky as you float soundly in the lake. If you are lucky, you may even see the spectacular Northern Lights dancing up above, as the day is shorter in Lapland during winter time.
