About
Drill a hole through the thick ice, bait the hook, and see if you can catch a perch from the secluded, ice-covered wilderness lake.
The snowmobile safari takes you through the remote, uninhabited forests and over the windy fells, past the breathtakingly beautiful scenery, until we reach the small wilderness lake. At the lake, we will try our luck at fishing and build a fire to enjoy a delicious meal.
Along the way, we stop to take photos of the most beautiful sights of our trip.
All snowmobile safaris include an introduction to safe handling and riding as well as an experienced guide.
