Head on a fun ice fishing excursion on Lake Torneträsk above Kiruna and discover the beautiful nature in the heart of Swedish Lapland. Welcoming participants from ages 7 and up on this family-friendly adventure!
Situated in Swedish Lapland, Kiruna is an ideal place to go ice fishing. It is positioned very close to the Arctic Circle, providing plenty of frozen lakes and bodies of water during the winter months. The landscapes around Kiruna are also breathtaking. Ice fishing is the perfect activity to experience the peacefulness of the forests of Kiruna.
Your experienced guide will pick you up from your accommodation in the city centre, or alternatively, you can meet at the starting point in Kiruna. You will then drive from Kiruna to Lake Torneträsk, a beautiful body of clear, fresh water. In the wintertime, it is entirely frozen over, allowing you to venture onto the lake safely. Together with your guide, you will cut a hole in the ice before setting up your fishing equipment and waiting for a catch. The water in Lake Torneträsk is so clear, it will feel like fishing in an aquarium!
Your guide will teach you the best techniques of ice fishing to optimise your work. The main catch out here is Arctic Char and Whitefish. Once a fish bites, you will have the option to cook the fish directly on-site, bring it home to cook later or release it back to the lake to swim another day. After your fun excursion, you will return to Kiruna.
This excursion to the lakes of Northern Sweden will offer you a perfect authentic experience in Swedish Lapland. Book now for your ice fishing adventure near Kiruna!
