Ice Fishing

Whether you are a committed fisherman or have never picked up a fishing rod before, ice fishing offers a unique way to engage with the glorious quiet and sense of calm that typifies a Swedish winter.

You will use a special ice drill to make a whole in the ice, before relaxing on a thick reindeer skin (an excellent insulator) to wait for a bite. With luck, you may catch a delicious Arctic Char!

A multi-activity winter adventure combining dog sledding, snowshoeing and ice-fishing

Multi-activity holidays in Sweden: Jämtland

The period between January and early March is the heart of winter in Jämtland, a magical time of low temperatures, unique winter colours and long cosy nights lit by firelight and the reflections of the snow.

Midwinter Magic at the Husky Lodge is an exciting yet accessible winter multi-activity experience combining a number of winter activities into one adventure-filled holiday. During your stay at the Husky Lodge you will be dog sledding, ice fishing, snowshoeing and camping out in traditional tipi beneath the stars.

Accommodation during your experience is in comfortable 2-person rooms at the Husky Lodge. From here you will head out each day for a variety of winter activities in the Jämtland winter landscape. You will find yourself stretched out on luxuriously soft reindeer skins next to an ice hole in a frozen lake waiting for your catch to bite, hike into the forest on snowshoes to prepare lunch over open fire, sleep under canvas for one night in a traditional "lavvu" or tipi and learn how to handle a dogsled before heading for the mountains to discover the thrill of mushing your own team of Siberian Huskies through the wilderness.

Midwinter Magic at the Husky Lodge is ideal for solo travellers, couples, groups of friends or active families with older children. All equipment and winter clothing will be provided. Meals during your activities are included and the Husky Lodge has a fully-equipped kitchen for self-catering for meals at other times.

Midwinter Magic gives you the chance to experience some of the many different possibilities for activities in the deep snows of the Swedish winter, offering an ideal combination of comfort, adventure and a warm welcome from your local guide and host.
