In Pyhätunturi, a guided snowmobile transfer threads through snowy forests and open winter plains toward frozen Lake Pyhäjärvi. There, under the guidance of your leader, you learn the essentials of traditional ice fishing — drilling a hole in the ice, setting a line and waiting in the hush — before capping the outing with a hearty buffet lunch at Mokkatupa.
