Ice fishing is a traditional way to catch your lunch. Fishing is a real thing in the beautiful lake scenery. The ice fishing season begins in winter when the lake is frozen, we Finns, call fishing as a Finnish meditation.If you are lucky, you might catch, for example, perch, white fish, or rainbow trout that we cook on an open fire after wards.

Gazing deeply at the ice hole will clear your 'hard drive' quickly and efficiently. However, a jolt at the rod will just as promptly sharpen your hunting instinct to the extreme, welcome!

Half day snowshoeing trip - Arctic Horizons

1.12.2026 - 30.3.2027
This trip is particularly suitable for a family with children, or for people who want to enjoy the lappish wilderness without making it too "extreme".

I pick you from the location off your choice in Luosto, and we head for a 3 hours snowshoeing trip in the boreal forest around Luosto. Snowshoes are easy to use, and let us go off the beaten tracks. They are also relatively silent, and as we travel in very small group, the chance of seeing wildlife is real.

At some point during our trip, we'll have a break at a Laavu (lean-to-shelter), where you will discover the world famous finnish sausage ( a.k.a the vegetable of the real finnish man) grilled by yourself on the open fire. We'll also enjoy hot drinks and some pastry, before heading home. Maybe some friendly hosts of this woods will pay us a visit to share our food...

DURATION : about 3 hours

INCLUDES : private guide services, snowshoeing equipment, hot drinks, sausages and cookies.

Arctic Horizons is a small (actually one man!) company, offering private guided outdoor activities in Luosto, Lapland, since 2005.

Half day snowshoeing and skiing trip - Arctic Horizons

1.12.2026 - 1.12.2026
This program has been devised in order to combine the use of our "forest skis" and of snowshoes during the same trip.

I pick you from your hotel/cabin in Luosto, and we head for Pyhä-Luosto national park. During this trip, we will use the snowshoes in the steepest uphills, or if we meet some dense forest, but as soon as the terrain gets more flat or downhill, we'll put on the skis.

It takes only 1-2 minutes to change from one to the other, and you don't need to change shoes, because both our skiis and snowshoes are equipped with universal bindings (you can use regular hiking boots).

What is really good, is that if somebody feels uncomfortable with the skiis whenever we go downhill, it is possible to switch back to snowshoes, and have a slower descent! Note that, anyway, we will not do any extreme downhills ... The "forest skis" and the bindings are not adapted to free ride and crazy fast downhills !! This program is perfectly adapted for beginners, just let me know before, so I can adapt our trip to your tastes !

At some point during our trip, we stop around an open fire in order to grill the famous Finnish sausage, a traditional lappish pastry, and some hot drinks.

Duration : around 3,5 hours.

Includes : Private guide services, snowshoeing/skiing gear, "hot berry juice break" during our trip, light snack in a wilderness cafeteria at the end of our trip.

Important ! Each participant has to come with a backpack equipped with straps for carrying own skis/snowshoes!
