Take the traditional method of trekking through the snowy wilderness of Lapland, and enjoy a try your hand at ice fishing.
Imagine stepping into the untouched winter landscapes of Lapland, where snow blankets the ground in layers so deep, it whispers underfoot with every step. Snowshoeing here offers you an intimate experience of nature’s stillness, where trees stand draped in heavy coats of snow, and, if you’re lucky, a willow grouse may catch your eye from the distance, its feathers blending seamlessly with the wintry white.
Guided by an experienced naturalist, you’ll make your way through the quiet forest paths and up to a nearby fell. There, beside a serene wilderness lake, you’ll kindle a cosy fire and brew a steaming cup of traditional hot tea. As you take in the sweeping views of Lapland’s frozen beauty, your guide will share insights into the unique wildlife of the region – from elusive Siberian jays to the majestic reindeer that roam free in this magical place.
Next, you’ll have the chance to try ice fishing, an ancient Nordic tradition. We’ll carve a hole into the thick ice, drop a line, and wait in peaceful anticipation to see if a perch might bite. This journey is perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike, offering a memorable, eco-friendly way to savour Lapland’s rugged beauty and capture its wilderness in all its snowy splendour.
