Safety Instructions

Weather conditions might change during the tour so we recommend you to wear proper walking shoes (no sandals) and appropriate clothing. It’s easier to focus on enjoying the beautiful Lappish nature if your stomach is not growling for food and therefore we recommend to eat before the tour. Should you or some other member in your group have a fear of heights, a disability or a medical condition that should be taken into consideration when preparing for the tour, please inform us of it in advance. The guide may stop or call off the tour in case of an injury or emergency or if the weather turns out to be too demanding.

Rapid River Fishing

On our fishing tours one can try either shoreline fishing or fly fishing. Our guide can give quick-and-easy on-sight fishing training. Mind your footing as the stones on the shore and in the water tend to be slippery.

Ice fishing

We only use fishing spots we are familiar with and carefully assess the thickness of the ice.
However, please always consult the guide before going on the ice as the guide will point out a spot most suited for ice fishing. Please note that you must stay on the marked or shown area.

The ice drill we use has a sharp blade so please take caution should you want to operate it.
Carefully remove the pouch covering the blade, place the drill on the ice, drill according to the
guide's instructions, and when the hole is ready, put the covering pouch back on. Always use the covering pouch when carrying the ice drill.

Cross-country skiing

Our experienced guide will teach you the basics of cross-country skiing. Put one ski on first, then the other. When you have your skis on, use ski poles for support. Start slow as the skis are slippery and maintaining balance might be challenging at first. The guide will teach you the basics of uphill and downhill cross-country skiing. To ensure a fun and pleasant skiing experience we only ski on well-cared skiing trails.

Snowshoeing

To ensure a fun and safe experience please follow the guide's instructions at all times. Keep away from ledges and cliffs and stay on guided trail. Use your ski poles for support and mind your footing as the ground might be slippery.
