Kiruna Ice Fishing Day Tour

During this Ice Fishing Day Tour in Kiruna we go the extra mile and head all the way to Lake Torneträsk in the mountains of Swedish Lapland, to catch fish in pristine conditions and experience the tranqulity of the Swedish mountains. The water in Lake Torneträsk is so crystal clear that when you look down the hole in the ice, you can often see the fish swim directly beneath your feet—it is truly like fishing in a giant natural aquarium! These deep, cold waters are the perfect habitat for Arctic Char and Whitefish. 

Traditional Ice Fishing Culture in Kiruna

On this Ice Fishing Day Tour in Kiruna, we walk roughly 1-2km out onto the lake to our favorite fishing spots, so this is a beginner friendly activity suitalble for all. All fishing gear and permits are included. Ice fishing is a cornerstone of the local lifestyle here, often referred to as “wellness on ice.” For generations, families in the region have headed out to the frozen fells to enjoy the peace that only the Arctic can provide.

Between checking your lines, you will enjoy a hearty outdoor lunch prepared in the fresh mountain air nd warm drinks. If the fish bite, we can prepare the fish right there on the open fire, or you can take it home for dinner. Alternatively, drop them back into the lake to swim another day.
