Join me on an unforgettable adventure – a snowshoe hike and ice fishing trip in the pristine wilderness of Tromsø! We'll start our journey by meeting at the pick-up point and make sure all the equipment fits perfectly. Then, we'll hop in the car and embark on a scenic 40-minute drive to a picturesque lake. Once we arrive, we'll strap on our snowshoes and set off on a guided hike through the snow-covered landscape.

Here, we'll experience the ancient art of ice fishing firsthand. With the help of traditional techniques, we'll drill through the thick ice, drop our lines, and wait for the fish to bite. While we wait, we'll gather around a crackling fire to warm up, enjoy some lunch, snacks and drinks, and share stories. After spending a couple of hours on the ice, we'll pack up and begin our journey back through the snowy wilderness. As we make our way back to the car, keep your eyes peeled for Arctic wildlife and marvel at the beauty of the surrounding flora and fauna. By the time we return to your hotel, you'll have gained a newfound appreciation for the winter landscape of Tromsø, learned the art of ice fishing, and even possibly caught a fish for dinner(If you don't want it I will have dinner;).
