Ice Fishing
The best ice fishing for Arctic char in the province of Lappland can be experienced from early June up until Midsummer, when the weather is stable with daytime temperatures of several degrees above freezing. The mountain lakes are often crystal clear with light lakebeds.
“Kikmete” (bait watching) is a very popular form of char fishing. In some lakes, visibility can be as deep as 10 metres, and you’re looking down into an aquarium of char as they swim by in shoals.
Stay in a tent goahti (hut) with its own heating source. Cabins are available in some mountain areas.

Mountain Hunting
In the Kiruna Mountains, we offer our hunting guests a thrilling hunt combined with nature experiences beyond the ordinary. Up here, we hunt for mainly grouse and western capercaillie. We can offer all types of terrain – from mountains and tundra to primeval birch and coniferous forests.
You can choose to fly out to your hunting area by helicopter from Kiruna and hunt on your own, or get the full-service deal with professional hunting guides and their pointing dogs. As a hunting guest, you can bring your own dogs or hunt without a dog.
Small game hunting begins on 25 August. Usually, the best period for bird hunting is from 10 September to the end of October. Hunting areas are huge, so the risk of running into other hunters is minimal.

The rivers and streams include wonderful drifts with great fishing, mainly for grayling, brown trout, and Arctic char.
