Hunting of moose, the king of the forest, is the highlight of the year for many. Moose hunting in Tornedalen always starts at the same time every year, the first Monday in September. It is one of the most beautiful and fantastic times of the year to be outdoors as the nature is glowing in different colors and the air is crisp and clear.
Welcome to one of northern Europe’s best, but yet unknown, fishing waters and destinations. The Tornio river (also called Torne river) is one of the National rivers and is 520 km long. The river is famous for its big salmon. The average weight per fish is around 6-8 kg but it is not uncommon to catch fish as big as 20 kg. We can offer different fishing packages, from fly fishing in the rapids, fishing Salomon with net from boat, pike fishing in lake and icefishing in wintertime.
We can offer several lodging possibilities that make it possible to host a variety of groups or single persons. Lodging varies from modern standard studio to rural cabins located in the wilderness. Our main house, that originates from early 1900, serves as dinner place for the guests that request full board.
Vitsaniemi Gård is a small family owned business that supplies accommodation, hunting and fishing experiences for visitors from all over the world.
Vitsaniemi Gård consist of several forest properties in the area of Tornedalen in Swedish Lapland. We are located right at the riverbank of the Torne River, which forms the border between Sweden and Finland and runs south to the Gulf of Bothnia.
The buisness is owned and run by Riitta and Gunnar Björk together with their three grown up children.
The main farmyard originates from around 1600-th century when Tornedalen started to be settled. The farm consists of a large timbered main house that was built in 1900, a red Norrbottensgård build 1830 and other buildings.
The family moved to the farm 1989 and has for the last 30 years hosted a large number of prominent guests such as the Swedish king Carl Gustav XVI, prince Carl-Philip, several Swedish cabinet ministers and hunters and visitors from all over the world.
