Snowmobile Ice Fishing from Levi — Guided Ice-Fishing & Campfire Experience
Cruise by snowmobile across frozen lakes from Levi and learn ice-fishing from a local guide. Expect short rides, patient fishing sessions, a campfire snack, and practical winter-safety instruction.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Temperatures can drop quickly; wear a moisture-wicking base, insulated mid-layer, and waterproof outer shell.
Bring ID and driving licence
If you plan to drive a snowmobile you must carry a valid car or motorcycle driving licence.
Protect electronics
Cold drains batteries fast — keep cameras and phones inside insulated pockets and carry spares.
Stay with the guide
Do not wander on the lake; guides know safe routes and ice conditions and will manage sled-towed children.

Conservation Note
Operators minimize impact by using designated tracks, packing out litter, and following local rules for handling missed catch and fish waste to protect lake ecology.
Ice fishing and seasonal motoring have long been practical skills here; local guides often come from families who combined reindeer herding with lake fishing.

What happens in poor weather?
Tours are subject to weather and ice conditions; if canceled due to unsafe conditions you'll be offered an alternative date or full refund.
