Arctic Adventure: Snowshoeing, Ice Fishing, Fire Lighting, and Survival Training from Rovaniemi

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in an Arctic forest with nothing but your skills and some equipment to survive? Well, you can find out how it's done and learn how to do it yourself on this amazing Arctic adventure with snowshoeing, ice fishing, fire lighting, and survival training from Rovaniemi! Rovaniemi is located in Lapland, which is the northernmost Finnish region, known for its snowy Arctic landscapes. This area, which has been inhabited for over 2000 years, is not the most welcoming to human beings when it comes to its climate, but people have found ways not just to survive, but to thrive in this wintry land, and you can, too.

On the day of your Arctic adventure with snowshoeing, ice fishing, fire lighting, and survival training from Rovaniemi, your instructor at Nordic Odyssey offers you a complimentary pick-up service from your accommodations if you are staying within an 8 km radius of their headquarters. Once you arrive there, you'll meet with the instructor who will accompany you throughout the day, and they'll give you a thorough safety and activity briefing, so you know where you're going and what to do to avoid any mishaps. You'll also be able to rent winter overalls and boots on-site (5€/set), so you'll be fully prepared for your adventure in Lapland.

Once everyone is ready, it's time to begin! Your Arctic adventure with snowshoeing, ice fishing, fire lighting, and survival training from Rovaniemi will begin as you drive toward the starting point of the snowshoeing excursion. Your instructor will teach you how to orient yourself with a compass in the forest, and as you advance with your snowshoes, they'll give you a few tips and tricks to survive in those snowy surroundings.

Then, you'll reach a frozen lake, where you'll make camp and learn how to light a fire without matches or a lighter! You'll receive the ice fishing equipment, drill your hole in the lake, and enjoy a moment of peace and relaxation with the stunning Lapland landscapes while you wait for a catch. However, if you're not successful in your fishing efforts, there's no need to worry. Your instructor will prepare some Finnish barbecue snacks and hot drinks, so you can still enjoy some food and share a moment with your loved ones while you ask your instructor all you want to know about Lapland living, before returning to your accommodations for the end of your Arctic adventure with snowshoeing, ice fishing, fire lighting, and survival training from Rovaniemi.

Don't forget to bring comfortable clothes that are adapted to the weather, and winter boots (or rent some if you need to). You should also bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a bottle of water, as well as anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 4 hours on this Arctic adventure with snowshoeing, ice fishing, fire lighting, and survival training from Rovaniemi!
