Beginner friendly Nordic ice skating on Stockholm lakes with gear, a local English guide, fika breaks, and hot lunch on natural ice.
“The tour guide was amazing, however the activity is not what they advertise. It is sold as a free ice skating trip but what they don’t tell you is that if the weather is not perfect they’ll just take you to a FREE ENTRY natural ice rink 15 minutes outside of Stockholm. I could have just payed 20 euros to rent a pair of skates and go around in circles for 6 hours by myself.”
3-hour Abisko aurora snowshoe hike with hotel pickup, hot drinks, birch-forest night walks, and chances to spot Northern Lights.
“Everything about the evening was fantastic. Robin was the perfect guide, encouraging us take in the quiet environment of the birch forest in the dark as we walked. Robin pointed out recent and older animal tracks in the snow and gave us information about the trees and local area. It was very magical and ethereal, like the world of Narnia in the snow, and the night sky was so clear and full of stars which were very visible away from the lights of Abisko. We went to a couple of frozen lakes as well and were extremely lucky to see the Northern lights coming and going throughout the hike. We…”

“Hands down- most fun experience! The guides were extremely helpful, very friendly, the scenery was BEAUTIFUL, the weather was less than cooperative but the guides made the best of it, including taking us on a side hike and teaching a little about the nature aspects of Sweden. 100/10 would absolutely do it again. I was nervous that I was too uncoordinated, too heavy, too out of shape, and the guides took every fear away!”

“It’s one of those once in a life time experiences. I really enjoyed the hike, despite being tired. We also walked on two lakes, which was very scary but our guide managed to help all of us and even take pictures and videos while we do so. The soup we had was very delicious as well!”
Night ice skating on Stockholm lake ice with firelit torches, Swedish fika, dinner by the fire, and a chance at Northern Lights.

“We had such a lovely experience. We booked very last minute and reached out to Andres asking whether we can be picked up at a midpoint but he very kindly picked us up from our hotel itself. He is very knowledgeable, told us lots about Kiruna and its nature during our hike and also gave us homemade cookie and hot berry tea in midst of -15°C. We also made snow angels and took back the best of memories from this spontaneous hike.”
Snowshoe up Kiruna’s tree line for Kaamos skies, animal-track stops, and hot berry juice with a small-group guide.
“We really enjoyed snowshoeing and seeing the sunset from the top of the mountain. Anders went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, including bringing homemade berry juice and cookies. We could tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. The walk itself is fairly easy but would be difficult to do independently. We definitely recommend this tour! (Bonus points: Anders learned the names of all the local animals in Italian. We were so impressed!)”
Snowshoe above Kiruna treeline for Arctic views, animal-track stops, and warm berry juice with a small-group guide.
