Snowmobile Ice Fishing Tour: Arctic Angling and Wilderness Cuisine
This tour combines the thrill of driving a snowmobile through pristine Arctic nature with tranquil tradition of icefishing. Drive your machine across one of Lapland’s many frozen lakes, try your luck at catching Arctic char with the support of our local experts, and enjoy a warming lunch prepared over an open fire.
The Snowmobile Ice Fishing Tour begins with a short transfer from the meeting point in the center of Kiruna to our snowmobile garage. After getting you outfitted with all necessary clothing and equipment you will receive a thourough instruction of how to drive a snowmobile. The tour is beginner friendly and our professional guides will make sure that all are comfortable before we head out on an exhilarating ride through Lapland’s snowcovered wilderness, covering approximately 20km-25km. We will make several stops along the way, so if you are two to share a snowmobile, you can switch and take turns. We drive through Arctic forests and over frozen rivers until eventually, we reach a secluded lake. Our local expertise ensures access to the best fishing grounds in beauiful nature surrounding Kiruna.
The Tranquility of Ice Fishing
Upon arrival, your guide will demonstrate the traditional methods of ice fishing, including drilling the hole through the thick ice and setting up the gear. You’ll settle in on a reindeer skin by a freshly drilled hole in the ice to try your luck at catching species like Arctic char and trout. Icefishing takes patience, but the thrill of a tugon the line is well worth the wait. While you fish, your guide shares insights into the region’s unique ecosystems and the local wildlife. Disclaimer: Catching fish is not guaranteed, but the peaceful experience is. Meanwhile, a warming lunch is prepared over an open fire for you to enjoy. Then it is time to jump back on our snowmobiles and head back towards civilization.
