Ice Fishing by Snowmobile in Levi: Arctic Snowmobile Safari and Lake Fishing
Combine a high-adrenaline snowmobile safari with hands-on ice fishing on Levi’s frozen lakes. This guided 3-hour outing includes thermal gear, helmets and local fishing instruction—perfect for first-timers who want a brisk, authentic Lapland winter experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Even with provided overalls, wear moisture-wicking base layers and a warm mid-layer—cotton will make you cold if it gets wet.
Bring spare batteries
Cold reduces battery life for phones and cameras; keep spares in an inner pocket close to your body.
Know the driving rules
A valid driver’s license is required to drive a snowmobile and drivers are liable for damages unless extra insurance is purchased on site.
Mind children’s seating
Children 1–14 ride in a sledge behind the guide’s snowmobile; bring extra warm gear and consider sitting with small kids for safety.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Drive a short distance from main trails to watch reindeer grazing at dusk on open fells
- •Look for small wind-sculpted ice ridges and pressure cracks near shorelines—great quiet photo subjects and markers of lake dynamics
Wildlife
- •Reindeer
- •Whooper swan (migratory in shoulder seasons)
Conservation Note
Respect marked trails and avoid disturbing shorelines; ice holes and fishing gear should be left as guides instruct and all waste packed out to protect fragile lake ecosystems.
Levi sits in Finnish Lapland on terrain shaped by glaciation; the area has long been used by Sámi reindeer herders and today balances local traditions with winter tourism.
