Strap on your snowshoes and head into the silent snowy forest with your outdoor guide, who shares survival basics as you go.
Using a map and compass, you navigate your own way to the shore of a vast frozen lake, learning along the way how the surrounding trees and mushrooms can be used for fire-making and other purposes.
At camp, you build your own fire without matches or a lighter, then drill a hole in the ice to try your hand at ice fishing. Catch something and your guide shows you how to prepare and grill it over the fire.
No fishing luck needed — a Finnish barbecue snack is prepared by your guide either way, giving you a chance to relax by the fire and ask any questions about Lapland.
