Finland · COOKING CLASSES
Every trip has one free day too few. These 3 cooking classes justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Travel from Ivalo to Rahajärvi for hands-on Lappish ice fishing. Drill holes, try line fishing and check nets beneath the ice, then cook fish over an open fire with guides speaking Finnish, English, or French. Family groups can expect patient instruction and a warm campfire meal.
“We had a delightful experience with the salmon soup and marshmallow by the fire , and we feel fortunate to have caught the fish ourselves!”
Ride about 30 minutes from Rovaniemi to a cottage near Tahtamalmapi Lake. With Elena or Eliana guiding the cooking, you will prepare creamy Finnish salmon soup, taste it together, and finish with homemade berry pie. Pickup, English instruction, and groups of up to eight are included.
“Amazing experience. We're good food. Nice location in the middle of 2 lakes. Super stunning and welcoming people.”
Spend about five hours on Lake Inari with Xwander Nordic, learning ice fishing, checking submerged nets, and cooking fish soup over an open fire. Guides such as Sonja and Juhanni add local knowledge, while optional tent sauna and ice swimming make a memorable finish.
“The best activity we did in Finland. They have the best guides, they know how to fish, cook, sing, navigate, tow a sled with a snowmobile... they know everything!!”
Pick a town, a machine, or a fire to sit beside.
