Sauna Experience with Ice Fishing and Ice Swimming near Rovaniemi

Escape the hustle of a busy town and spend a day just relaxing in Finnish nature with traditional activities like ice fishing, sauna, and ice swimming.

Rovaniemi is a city located in Finnish Lapland, close to the Arctic Circle. Due to its picturesque landscapes and snowy winter conditions, the region is a haven for outdoor activities. This excursion gives you a taste of three traditional Finnish activities.

The day begins by meeting your experienced guide at the starting point in Rovaniemi (pickup is available within a 15km driving distance). The guide will go through the itinerary for the day and give out your Arctic gear and equipment. Once you are dressed and ready to go, the adventure begins!

You will travel to a frozen lake in the middle of the Arctic forest, where you will start your day with ice fishing. The guide will show you how to drill a hole and set up your ice fishing equipment. This spot is one of the best places for catching fish, drop your line into the ice hole, sit back, and try your luck! If you do manage to catch a fish, the guide will grill it on the open fire. You will enjoy a traditional BBQ campfire meal of Lappish bread, salmon, marshmallows and hot blueberry juice (vegetarian/vegan alternative upon request).

After a fulfilling lunch, you will get ready for the next authentic Finnish experience - a traditional lakeside sauna. The wooden sauna allows you to relieve the stress of every day and warm up with gentle steam. For the most unique experience of Lapland, dare to take a dip in an ice hole just outside the sauna to cool you down. Once you have enjoyed the relaxing sauna in the peaceful forest, you will head back to Rovaniemi.
