Ice Fishing
Join us on our popular ice fishing trip.

When Torneträsk is safe to travel you will be taken out onto the ice by snowmobile. By the use of an ice drill we will make a hole through the ice, put down the lure and then try to catch the legendary and delicious Arctic Char. We will make a fire where you can enjoy a hot beverage as well as fry the fish that you have caught. You will also have access to our wooden hut where you can warm up in front of the fire.
