Stockholm: Nordic Ice Skating at Night with chance of Northern Lights

Warm your hands at the fire with dinner and a hot drink whilst enjoying the cozyness of winter!

Stockholm Nordic Ice Skating: what to expect?
This trip is all about catching winter magic: Nordic Skating on a frozen lake with firelit torches showing the way. Enjoying the cozyness of a fire under the star- and moon light, and maybe even the magical phenomen of Aurora Borealis! We will most likely find our selves alone on the ice!
The first lap you will do together with your guide, during which they will judge the ice safety and set the course for the evening by firelit torches. Afterwards you can skate at your own pace, taking in the magic. On this tour, you will get more time to yourself compared to our Nordic Skating Day Trip. Meaning you don’t have to stick together as a group. You can take as many (or as few!) laps as you wish. Your guide will always be around, to give tips, tell stories or help you individually if necessary.
If you are mostly excited about the skating, we recommend that you look at our Ice Skating Day Trip instead, where we chase black ice and the magic of Skating. It is possible to combine both tours, actually we recommend it to get the most out of the different experiences!

Other important information
- This tour is more about experiencing the winter nights in an outdoor adventure than about ice skating. If you are interested in Nordic Skating we always recommend to join our regular daytrip.

- We will be ice skating on natural ice. If according to our judgement an ice skating cannot be conducted safely, however rarely, we reserve the right to carry out an alternative program instead.
