Traditional Finnish Sauna and Hot Tub with Salmon Ice Fishing
Traditional Finnish Sauna and Hot Tub with Salmon Ice Fishing
Have you been wondering how Finns spend their free time in the winter? Ice fishing and sauna are favorite free-time activities of many Finns and the way they spend their weekends, for example.
We will give you an introduction to ice fishing and explain to you how to catch a fish, starting with drilling a hole in the ice. We have salmon in our private lake. Catching one is not guaranteed, but it is usually easy.
A hot sauna and hot tub will be ready for you once you are done ice fishing. When taking a sauna, you can also jump to snow, to have an even more authentic experience.
We will make a fire for you in our lake laavu, grill sausages, or prepare the salmon if you catch one.
