Activities & Nature

Guided fishing trips, ice fishing and lake safaris for example to Päijänne National Park and its beautiful Kelvenne ridge island. The Ice fishing with snowmobile sled ride package includes a 3-4-hour guided tour for 2-6 persons. Experience the traditional style of winter fishing on Lake Vesijärvi. Your guide will take you to the best fishing spots by snowmobile and sled, show you how to drill a hole in the ice and teach you the fishing techniques. Ice fishing is easy to learn and is also very suitable for children. The most common catch is perch, but sometimes a big pike can surprise you. We will enjoy a snack by an open fire with sausages and coffee/tea.
