Ice fishing in Kautokeino on the Finnmarksvidda wilderness expanse!Fishing
Season:15. okt. 2025 - 15. mai 2029
Kautokeino

Description

Kautokeino is a true winter eldorado for ice fishing.

Here you will find some of the expanse's most fish-abundant waters, known for large grayling, pike, perch, whitefish, and trout. And not least – you have the opportunity to secure the plateau's true jewel: the highly sought-after Arctic char. Whether you want an exciting day trip or a longer stay in the wilderness, we facilitate everything for a comfortable trip. We use our local knowledge to find lakes with great potential and ensure all logistics are handled so you can enjoy the excitement and silence by the ice hole. We plan the trip based on which species you wish to prioritize. Since every lake has its own characteristics, we find areas with good potential for the species you dream of. You only need to pack your food and personal gear – we take care of the rest.

We offer unique accommodation options that allow you to stay right by or directly on the fishing lake. You choose the option that suits you best:

Gamme (Tent hut): Stay in a traditional tent hut by the water. With a wood-burning stove offering a warm, quiet, and authentic atmosphere – an ancient and evocative way to experience the plateau. This is the ultimate way to experience the peace of the wilderness.

Gumpi: For those who want to stay right where the fishing happens, we offer a Gumpi – a mobile cabin on sleds placed out in the terrain or on the ice.

Cabin: We also offer solid cabins near fishing lakes for those wanting a secure base with more space to dry equipment and relax in front of the fireplace.

Safety and planning: Winter on Finnmarksvidda is both powerful and unpredictable. We are talking about vast distances and weather changes that can occur incredibly fast. What starts as a dead calm day can quickly turn into challenging conditions. This is precisely why our local knowledge is your greatest security. We know the plateau's geography and weather signs inside out, and we ensure you are well taken care of during your stay, regardless of what nature provides.

Guide available upon request.

All anglers must have a valid fishing permit. This can be easily purchased at: www.natureit.no
