KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

  • This tour is more about experiencing winter nights through outdoor adventure than about ice skating. If you are interested in Nordic Skating, we always recommend joining our regular day trip.

  • You can set your own pace during the tour, so it is not physically demanding. You will need to be able to walk normally.

  • Northern Lights sightings are a magical bonus — not guaranteed.

  • Minimum numbers apply, and although rare, tours may be cancelled if requirements are not met. In such cases, an alternative date, tour or a full refund will be offered

  • Ice conditions are monitored for safety. If skating is unsafe, an alternative activity (usually a winter hike) will be arranged.

  • Safety is a priority — guides are experienced and prepared, and equipment is provided.

  • 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.

  • The first lap is guided to set the firelit course and ensure safe ice conditions. Afterwards, you can skate as much or as little as you like, stopping to warm your hands at the campfire, sip a hot drink, or listen to stories from your guide. Your guide will always be around to help you if necessary!

Please watch our safety video ahead of the tour. On the day itself, our guides will answer all questions and provide thorough instructions. Don’t worry — safety is our top priority. No guest has ever gone through the ice on our tours!
