Snowmobile Excursion with Ice Fishing in Ylläs

Explore the snow-covered landscapes of Finnish Lapland and try your hand at an ancient northern tradition on this snowmobile excursion with ice fishing in Ylläs! Ylläs is home to the largest ski resort in Finland, located in the western side of the country's Lapland region. A winter wonderland for around half the year, this place is perfect to try incredible snowy experiences such as snowshoeing, dog sledding, and, of course, snowmobiling and ice fishing.

On the day of your snowmobile excursion with ice fishing in Ylläs, you'll have the chance to be picked up within a 15-kilometre radius of the village, or arrive at the Safartica headquarters at least 15 minutes before the starting time of your excursion. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will distribute the thermal suits, winter boots, woollen socks, scarves, beanies and gloves to keep you warm throughout the experience, as well as the helmets and snowmobiles (1 per 2 participants). Once you're all geared up, your instructor will give you a thorough safety briefing and a quick lesson on how to drive the snowmobile.

Once you feel prepared, it's time to go! You'll ride the snowmobile with a partner, speeding over magnificent snowy landscapes. You'll search for the perfect spot to set up camp, and once you find it, you'll stop, get off the snowmobile, and listen to a thorough ice fishing lesson from your instructor, who will try to help you catch some perch or white fish. Once it's time to go, you'll return to the original meeting point for a delicious, hearty lunch that will warm you up after driving around 35 to 40 kilometers in the snow.

Now, to drive a snowmobile, you need to be 18 years old and have a valid driver's license, which you need to bring on the experience. No previous experience is needed! Children under 12 years old or under 140cm in height will have to drive in a sledge pulled by the instructor, for safety reasons. All you need to do is bring warm winter clothing to wear under the suit your instructor will lend you, comfortable shoes, and anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to spend around an hour and a half on this amazing snowmobile excursion with ice fishing in Ylläs!
