Reindeer Ride to Ice Fishing and Snowshoeing
Ylläs, FinlandThis is the most popular tour of ours. The 3km reindeer ride in snowy forest is split in half, one actually needs to get to the lake from the closest road. Be prepared to drive yourselves, we will explain how. After the hard work the reindeer will appreciate if you give them some food, lichen. That is the best time to take photos of them too. After warming up inside and having hot juice you will try ice-fishing at Wolf Lake. This is private lake where you can catch rainbow trout, grayling, perch, white fish or pike. Later those who wish will explore the surrounding forest on snowshoes and when tired have salmon (or rainbow trout) soup lunch with typically Finnish rye bread while sweet bun with tea or coffee are for dessert. Your catch will be grilled over the fire and served to you. There is time to talk about reindeer husbandry and wildlife. To get back you will have a reindeer ride again. Those who successfully survive the trip will be awarded a reindeer driving license.
