Ylläs: Family-Friendly Snowmobile Safari and Ice Fishing

Create memories that will last a lifetime on this family snowmobile and ice fishing adventure in the breathtaking winter landscapes of Ylläs. Parents take the handlebars while little ones ride snugly in the guide's sled — gliding together through snow-draped forests and across open Arctic fells.

The journey leads to a peaceful frozen lake where the magic of ice fishing awaits. With friendly guidance from your expert local guide, even the youngest adventurers can drill into the ice and try their luck — a proud Finnish tradition that never fails to delight. Plenty of safe space to explore, and a campfire stop with hot drinks and sausage grilling to warm everyone up and let the stories flow. No experience needed. Children from age 4 welcome. All equipment provided.

Please note

Operated during winter season (snow and weather permitting). Minimum number of participants required for each safari is 2 full paying adults.
