"Natural ice is really a fascinating thing - there are many different types of ice, each with its own character. Skating on it is an amazing adventure!
If you're never been on trip skates before, it'll take a little while to get used to them - they are quite different from rink skates - but you'll soon gain confidence and be on the way to becoming an adept long-distance skater! You're sure to want to return for more - it's a different experience every time you go!"

Sweden is one of the very few places with suitable conditions for natural ice skating - the winter needs to be cold enough for good ice formation but with little snowfall.
The central and southern parts of Sweden are particularly wonderful areas for ice skating. With typically lower snowfall than further north, ice conditions can be perfect - mirror smooth and snow free - offering mile upon mile of uninterrupted skating joy!
