People walking in a line on the snow towards fishing spot

The large snowshoes under your feet leave big prints in the snow, almost like a snow monster, but they also make it easy to move through the snow.

With snowshoes on, you make your way to the fishing hole on the frozen lake, where ice fishing awaits – a true Norwegian winter tradition. The guide shows you how to drill a hole in the ice, lower the line, and then it’s just a matter of waiting. The excitement builds – will the fish bite? While you wait, you can feel the calm around you and enjoy nature, with a warm drink in your hand. When a fish bites, you experience the joy of pulling it up from the ice – a true reward for patience and fishing luck.

Ice fishing is not just about the catch; it’s about the experience of being out in nature, feeling both the peace and the thrill at the same time. This activity is suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers, offering a unique combination of relaxation and anticipation.

The activity takes place outdoors in winter conditions, and weather, terrain, and ice conditions may vary. The organizer reserves the right to modify the tour if safety conditions require it. Participants must dress appropriately for the weather conditions. The organizer reserves the right to make changes to the program, route, and content if necessary.
