Ice Fishing & Open Fire Cooking

Discover winter fishing at Rahajärvi, Ivalo with our expert guides!

Embark on an unforgettable winter fishing adventure at Rahajärvi lake in Ivalo. Our experienced guides will introduce you to authentic Lappish ice fishing techniques, including:

• Ice drilling (“kairaaminen”)
• Traditional ice fishing (“pilkkiminen”)
• Under-ice net fishing (“juomustus”)

Navigate the frozen landscape with ease using snowshoes or skis, all provided by Xwander.

Once we’ve reeled in our catch, we’ll gather around a crackling fire to prepare and enjoy the freshest fish you’ve ever tasted. Experience various mouthwatering fish-cooking styles, with all necessary cooking and dining equipment supplied by Xwander.
