Gammeldags isfiske med not (Old fashioned fishing on the ice)
We travel down the river and through the beautiful archipelago surroundings in a warm and comfortable BANDVAGN. Those who prefer sun and fresh air sit in a LÅNGKÄLKE.
On the ice, to the left from Seskarö we will meet the brother Allan and Arne Luthström. Their family has for generations fished in the archipelago. We follow the uneasy fishing process where the seine which is several hundred metres lång is pulled under the ice and finally up from a hole in the ice.
This brilliant technique has been developed by fishermen over many generations. When the seine comes up from the water it sparckles with vendaces and herrings.
Soon the grill hisses and appetite gives the culinary experience an extra spice. You cannot really find fish that would be more fresh than these. Fried vendace, smoked vendace, rieska, coffee, coffee cheese and archipelago coffee.
Season: February — april.
Duration: 4 - 5 h.
Participants: Max 15 persons.
Language: Swedish, finnish and english.
Price: Invite tenders.

Archipelago journey to Seskarö Wärdshus
Vi färdas med bandvagn genom genom ett vintrigt skärgårdslandskap. Vi studerar spår av älgar, renar, rävar och harar. Med skidor och snöskor följer vi spårens upphovs-makare in på öarna. Det är kallt och det knarrar när vi går i snön. När vi närmar oss Seskarö borrar vi hål i isen och provar vår fiskelycka. Med lite tur lyckas vi fånga några abborrar.
Framme vid Seskarö väntar oss en tre rätters middag. Med fantasins hjälp tar vår kock och värd oss med på en resa genom bygden under de senaste seklerna. Nöjda, mätta och trötta återvänder vi med buss till Haparanda.
Season: January — 15 april.
Duration: 5 h.
Participants: Up to 25 persons.
language: Swedish, finnish and english.
Price: invite tenders
Includes: Guided journey with tracked vehicle to Island Seskarö. Scoteroverall, gloves, fur hat and warm shoes. Supper at Seskarö Wärdshus. Journey back with buss.

Experience a sky of stars and northern lights on a bog of Norrland
Vi glider fram med vår bandvagn genom vintern i Tornedalen. Vi korsar skogar och myrar. Är årstiden den rätta får vi höra både sparvuggla, pärluggla och kanske slguggla och berguv. Ofta ackompanjerad av en skällande, ylande räv.
Så möts vi av en sprakande eld ute på en myr. Vi steker slåbba (kornplättar) med rökt renstek som förtärs med rieska kaffe och kaffeost.
Vi promenerar över myren på ett fruset skoterspår. Det är kväll och det är mörkt men märkligt nog ser vi skoterspåret som vi går på och den omgivande naturen. Det är mörkt men ändå ljust. Så flammar himlen upp i gröna, blåa, lila och röda färger. Likt böljande ridåer på en teater drar norrskenet fram över skyn.
Season: December — may.
Times: 4 h — (late at night)
Participants: Up to 25 persons.
Language: Swedish, finnish and english.
Price: Invite tenders.
Includes: Scoteroverall, gloves, fur hat and warm shoes. Trip to the bog with tracked vechile and a guide. Coffee and local delicacys.
