Ice Fishing and Snowmobile Experience

Your visit starts from the idyllic courtyard of our home farm, where you get to experience a piece of traditional Finnish history with its red log buildings. At our farm, you will be greeted by the cheerful host family with their friends and family. The courtyard features the main building, a stable, horse enclosure, a traditional Finnish hut (kota), and a backyard sauna. The main building serves as the home for the entrepreneurial couple and was completed in 1934. Our farm is located in a beautiful spot on the shore of Lake Marrasjärvi.

Your next step in the visit is to comfortably settle into the sleigh. The sleigh is filled with soft reindeer hides to keep you warm during the journey. The engine starts, and we set off with a jolt. Our journey follows the snowy snowmobile route around Lake Marrasjärvi as we head towards a small island on the lake. The views along the way are already breathtaking, and the snow-covered lake itself is beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Once we reach the island, the sounds of the snowmobile fade away, and you can settle on the shore of the island where a cozy campfire spot is located. We will light a fire, and if you wish, you can even try lighting the fire yourself. Over the open fire, we will brew traditional Finnish sooty pot coffee and enjoy tasty self-baked Finnish buns.

Our guides will help you with the basics of ice fishing, showing you how to drill a hole in the ice and instructing you on using the fishing gear. We will lay out comfortable reindeer hides on the ice to keep you warm. After a while of fishing, we will pack up our belongings and head back to the Kotatuli farm.
