Enjoy a fun day at Lake Rahajärvi, just ten minutes north of Ivalo village, where you'll learn the basics of traditional winter fishing and indulge in a delicious meal!

Our expert guides will teach you authentic Lappish ice fishing techniques, which include:

• Ice Drilling (“kairaaminen”)
• Traditional Ice Fishing (“pilkkiminen”)
• Under-Ice Net Fishing (“juomustus”)
• Fish Preparation Demonstration

After reeling in our catch, we'll gather around a crackling fire in a traditional Lappish Kota and prepare the freshest fish you've ever tasted. You'll learn traditional fish cooking methods, with all the necessary equipment provided by Xwander.
