From Stockholm: Private | 3-Day Swedish Skating Adventure

We skate on the best natural ice each day, in an area of approximately 350 km around Stockholm. Within this area are three of Europe’s five largest lakes (Vänern, Vättern and Mälaren) and Stockholm’s archipelago in the Baltic sea.

Itinerary:

• Thursday – arrival day. You can choose to stay at:

  • The Best Western Park Arlanda Hotel at Arlanda Airport – This is a good option if you are arriving late in Stockholm.

  • The Best Western Bentleys Hotel in the city centre – This is a good option if you are arriving early in Stockholm and would like to see some of the city. The rooms are limited.

• Friday morning – we pick you up early (approx. 07:30) from your arrival hotel and drive straight to the best ice for the day for a full day ice skating. That night you stay in a first-class country-style guesthouse on the route.

• Saturday – early start and a full day ice skating and another night in a first-class country-style guesthouse on the route.

• Sunday – early start and a full day ice skating before being dropped off either at the airport or in the city. If you are leaving the day the tour ends, please do not book a flight before 19:00 (if in doubt, please ask us).

Touring details:

Before you head off in search of adventure, your experienced guide will brief you on the tour and the safety equipment, and once you are fitted with your Nordic skates and equipment, you head to the best ice and the most beautiful surroundings that Stockholm has to offer.

You are split into small groups, each with an expert guide, to ensure you are skating alongside people of a similar ability and with similar expectations. You skate all day with your subgroup, but meet the rest of the group for lunch and in the evenings at the hotels and guesthouses.

Depending on the weather, ice conditions and the skills of your group, you can cover anything between 20 and 80 km per day.

The days are full of beautiful scenery, some of the best natural ice and skating conditions for nordic skating in the world, and lots of fun and exhilaration as you get to know your fellow ice skaters. The evenings promise to be just as enjoyable as the days, with good food, fun chatter about the day’s activities and the chance to relax in the sauna and at the bar. We stay in first-class country-style hotels and guesthouses that are high in quality, charm and character.
