Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Enjoy a morning ice fishing excursion in the crisp Arctic air! On this day out on Lake Torneträsk, you will learn how to drill ice, bait Arctic char, and try your hand at the patient sport of ice fishing in the beautiful nature of Northern Sweden.
Your guide will take you by snowmobile out onto the thick ice covering Lake Torneträsk to begin the fishing outing. They will teach you all you need to know about your fishing equipment and make sure you are safe as you drill your fishing holes into the ice. Then, it will be time to play the waiting game, fishing rod in hand, until the Arctic chars come to bite. Fun for all ages, this activity is as peaceful as it is rewarding!
At the end of the morning, you will go together to a cosy hut, where you will start a fire over which to fry your fresh catch. Your guide will also provide hot drinks to replenish you after your time in the brisk Arctic outdoors.
Come along for an authentic taste of the Swedish Arctic!
At the beginning of the activity, you will travel by snowmobile to the ice fishing lake.
During the mid-season period, when the ice conditions on Lake Torneträsk are more precarious, you will fish on a smaller lake nearby, traveling there with your guide by minibus.
After fishing, you will enjoy some freshly caught fried fish, warmed by a fire with hot drinks.
