Ice fishing in Lapland: Private pond with trout soup

Catch rainbow trout, cook it into soup, and explore snowy landscapes in one morning

Ice fishing experience at a private pond in Lapland where you catch rainbow trout, which is prepared into soup and served with dessert and coffee. The day also includes snowshoeing through winter forest and sledding for children. Guides pick you up from Kemi, Tornio or another location of your choice for a 45-minute drive to the pond. The activity runs five hours and suits all ages from age two.

The experience

Five hours gives you time to fish, eat, and explore without eating up the whole day. You'll start at a private pond where the guide sets you up to catch rainbow trout through a hole in the ice. What you catch gets turned into trout soup on the spot, served warm with dessert and coffee. The meal comes from the water you just fished. After lunch, you move into snowshoeing through the surrounding forest. The terrain is gentle enough for all fitness levels. Kids get a sledding hill while adults explore further or take a second round on snowshoes.

Pickup happens from Kemi, Tornio, or any location you name, and the 45-minute drive to the pond is included. Your guide speaks English and stays with the group the whole time. Dress in layers. The cold is real, but the pond is sheltered and the activity keeps you moving. Infants and toddlers can come along in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.
