Power through snow-covered forests on your snowmobile, feeling the Arctic air rush past as you climb toward Europe's largest mountain plateau. The journey itself is an adventure – navigating winding trails through pristine wilderness where wildlife tracks dot the landscape. Once you reach the vast plateau, an incredible panorama unfolds before you. Here, in complete silence broken only by Arctic wind, you'll try traditional ice fishing under expert guidance. Learn to read the ice, set your line, and experience the thrill of potentially catching Arctic char or trout in waters few ever see. You're combining two iconic Arctic experiences in one unforgettable day – the adrenaline rush of snowmobiling through untouched terrain and the peaceful focus of ice fishing on a frozen lake surrounded by mountain peaks. Your guides share local knowledge about wildlife, weather patterns, and fishing techniques passed down through generations. If you're lucky, you'll taste your fresh catch prepared right on the ice – a true Arctic delicacy that connects you directly to this remarkable landscape.

Despite some bad weather and clouds (even with projected Kp values as low as 1) we got multiple nights of lovely northern lights viewing, right outside our cabin doors. In fact we could check the sky through the window - and just step out when it was clear &...
We spent some days there in January to watch aurora borealis (aka northern lights). The lodge is really a good place, far out in the country side, not much light pollution.
