Located in northwestern Finland (Finnish Lapland), the village of Kilpisjärvi is situated in the municipality of Enontekiö. Renowned for its pristine Arctic landscapes as well as its proximity to both the Norwegian and Swedish borders, Kilpisjärvi is a popular destination for outdoor adventure enthusiasts in the summer and winter months. Why not make the most of your time in Finnish Lapland by combining the best of 2 beloved winter pastimes, snowmobiling and ice fishing?

Once you've been picked up at one of the listed meeting points (please specify when booking), the adventure begins! You'll be driven to the Kilpissafarit base where you'll be welcomed by your knowledgeable instructor. After you've put on your winter gear (thermal overalls, boots, wool socks, mittens, and a balaclava), you'll receive a safety briefing and an introduction to snowmobiling. Then, the fun starts!

You'll set off into the Arctic wilderness on a 15 km (9 miles) journey, in the company of your guide, towards a scenic ice fishing location. (If you've chosen the snowmobile sled passenger option, you'll be seated on warm reindeer pelts for the duration of the trip.) Upon your arrival, you'll help your guide drill a hole in the ice. Then, they will go over the traditional hook-and-line method of fishing. Now its time to cast your line and try your luck at catching Arctic char, trout, or whitefish that are common in this area. As you fish, you'll enjoy the tranquillity of nature while seated on reindeer pelts. In addition, you'll be treated to hot drinks and pastries. At the end of the tour, you'll return to the original departure point in Kilpisjärvi with a newfound love of ice fishing!
