Nordic Skating in Sweden
Private or Open tour
Nordic Skating - your own tour
Enjoy Nordic skating together with your friends or family. When booking your own private tour you can come any date and stay as long as you like. You can chose the type of accommodation and combine skating with other activities if you like.
We always travel in small groups and most of our guests are private groups. We are maximum eight persons and one guide and travel in a minibus. If you are more than eight we use a second bus.
The guide picks you up at the airport or where you like to be picked up. If possible we go directly for skating on a good lake nearby. All skating equipment is provided.
Where we skate depends on the ice and weather situation, we always choose the area that provides the best skating conditions. The accommodations are located in the area but could change from day to day depending on where we choose to go skating.Hostel or Hotel, B1, B2, B3, C1 and C2. More information under accommodation
Sheets and towel are not included if you stay in hostel (B1, B2 or B3),+24 EUR extra if you don't bring your own.

We can provide you with the following but you need to make a reservation for it when you place your order:

Safety is an important issue. We cover great distances on the ice during a day. The whole time we keep track of the quality of the ice and avoid all weak areas. If someone should break through the ice the safety equipment we have helps us to pick the person up in a minute. And soon all wet clothes are changed to dry and warm clothes. The skating trip can continue.
PS: The only time we had a person falling into the water, they did not follow the given instructions.
Safety equipment we carry: backpack, safety line, ice nails and poles

Day I
Arrival at the airport. The guide will meet you and if possible we start skating already in the afternoon. We start with a safety and security briefing and then hand out all equipment. Time to change to proper clothes if you have not yet done that. Late afternoon we drive towards the chosen skating area. Arriving to the hostel/hotel you check in and then we have dinner at the hostel/hotel.Day II-III
We have breakfast and also time to prepare the lunch packages. Depending on distance we walk or take the minibus towards the ice. At the lake we start by examining the ice before we put on the skates and step out on the ice. We skate in a row, the guide always first, checking the ice and looking out for weak spots. The speed and distance is adjusted to the group and the ice condition. Now and then we take short stops to admire the beauty, chat for a while or just rest. During the day we go ashore from time to time to take something to eat or walk to another lake nearby. At the end of the day we return to the minibus and head back to the hotel/hostel. A nice sauna before the dinner is a pleasant experience. If the conditions are right we might go for another skating trip in moonlight late in the evening.Day IV
After breakfast we head off to another day on ice, skating as long as possible depending on the scheduled departure times. On our way back to the airport we stop for a shower and to change clothes and maybe for something to eat. The guide then drives you back to the airport.Looking forward to hear from you!
