Ice fishing is one of Finland's oldest and most beloved winter traditions — and Lake Ylläsjärvi, just a short walk from our Safari House, is the perfect place to try it. No fuss: just pull on your warm gear and head out onto the ice.

Your guide shows you everything: how to drill through solid ice, how to set your line, and how to read the subtle signs that a fish is near. While you wait, lie back on a reindeer skin, listen to stories of how the villagers fished this same lake in the old days, and take in the extraordinary experience of being on a frozen Finnish lake. Children under 4 are welcome under parental supervision — this is one of the most magical first winter memories a young child can have.

Short, accessible and deeply authentic. A wonderful addition to any Lapland itinerary.
