Other possibilities include a ride to conquer Halti Fell on a snowmobile. Kilpisjärvi has a lot to offer for an active person, or someone who just wants to get away from the crowds to enjoy a stress-free vacation. Kilpisjärvi is far from the metropolis, but near you.

ONLY TWO FISH -
ICE FISHING COMPETITION
Kilpisjärvi is truly a unique site for a fishing event.

Almost nowhere else could an ice fishing event be organized this late - mid May. We have a lot of prizes for winners and the rest of the prizes are given away by lot. Main thing is to have just sheer fun with others who like ice fishing. It is no wonder thousands come each year. Most of them have been here before.
More information in Enontekiö municipality.
