Nordic Skating

Private Tour

Ice skate on frozen lakes and the Baltic Sea with your own local guide

Book a private Nordic skating trip with friends or family. Stay as long as you like, choose your preferred accommodation, and let your local guide find the best ice conditions across hundreds of lakes and the Baltic Sea archipelago.

Nordic skating on natural ice demands that you feel confident and independent on skates.

You should be physically able to skate for 6 hours per day.

Prior experience from skating is god but not mandatory in a private group.

In a private group your guide adjusts speed and distance to the group throughout each day.

Private groups are available for 4-to 8 persons.

What to expect

Weather

Expect temperatures between 0°C and minus 15°C throughout the tour. There can be rain, snowfall and wind, though wind speeds are usually low to moderate.

Conditions can change during the day, so the ability to adapt your layers is more important than any single piece of clothing.

What to wear

Thermal base layer moisture wicking, close to skin

Mid layer, fleece or lightweight insulation

Light down jacket for breaks and lunch stops

Windproof outer layer for exposed ice and sea

Your four days on ice

Arrival and first ice

Your guide picks you up at Terminal 2, Stockholm Arlanda Airport between 10:30 and 11:00. In our basecamp close to Arlanda we are fitting shoes and getting familiar with the equipment, we head out onto a nearby lake or drive to where the best ice conditions are that day. In the evening we check in to the hostel or hotel, cook dinner together (or eat at the restaurant for the hotel option), and your guide goes through the plan for the coming days.

Included: lunch pack, dinner

Full day on the ice

After breakfast we pack our lunch and fill the thermoses. We drive to the best available ice . Your guide goes first, checking thickness and navigating the route. Pace and distance are adjusted to the group.

Included: breakfast, lunch pack, dinner

More ice, new routes

The routine is established. Breakfast, pack your backpack and head out. By now the group has found its rhythm and the guide knows what pace works best.
Day 3 is often the most rewarding. The group is confident, the guide can push further, and the routes tend to be the most scenic. If the conditions are right, we may skate by moonlight again in the evening.

Included: breakfast, lunch pack, dinner .

Last skate and departure

We skate for as long as possible before heading back to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Drop-off at Arlanda Airport is at 16:30 or later, adjusted to your departure time. If you are staying an extra night, we can drop you at a nearby hotel if the detour is reasonable.

Included: breakfast, lunch pack
