- Dress for winter activity. Hat/beenie, gloves, 1 pair of warm socks are a must have! Think layers of clothes instead of very thick and warm ones. Downhill skiing pants and jackets are ok, thick running tights with wool long johns underneath. Avoid anything made of cotton (tee shirt and jeans).
- Please send us your EU shoe sizes (37 -> 46) so we can prepare the equipment beforehand.

Brilliant experience!! - Incredible experience! Our guide, Peter, went above and beyond for us- even being as kind to take us to the train station and recommending a lovely restaurant there ,before we left for our flight home. But, regarding the actual experience, it was gorgeous! We skated on 3 beautiful lakes (due to the weather in March, it was a bit watery in places- but in actual winter it would be even better) and had a lovely lunch of typical Swedish food (provided) by a campfire looking at a frozen lake, in the sun. Peter also did very well with taking photos and videos while we were out there. 10/10 experience and lovely Pierre managed to rearrange our trip to a day the weather would be better. Everyone we dealt with was incredibly lovely. Overall such a great experience and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful sunny ice skating tour - What a lovely tour. I have previous ice skating experience but the Nordic skates were a whole different ballgame! We had an absolutely beautiful (and rare) sunny winter day in Stockholm. Our guide was lovely and explained little nature things about the ice and lake. The provided lunch next to a fire pit was very fun. I recommend this as a taste of the Swedish outdoors!

Once-in-a-lifetime Experience! - This was a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Nordic skating on a huge frozen lake in Western Sweden connected to the Baltic Sea-amazing! The campfire lunch was great and our guide Christian was patient and full of information about the ice and skating instruction. He was helpful and patient with those of us who "straggled" a bit and challenged the ones who took to it easily. It's not easy, but so worth it! If you are in Sweden in the winter, try to do this activity, you probably won't know too many others who have done something like this!

Brilliant! - Perfect organization - very memorable trip ice skating on the lakes below Stockholm. Spectacular nature & experience. Some ice skating experience recommended, even if it is a few days indoor practice, to get the most enjoyment out of it. Recommended!

Incredible experience! - Booked this for my husband’s birthday while we were in Stockholm. Incredible experience, and we both enjoyed it despite both of us having differing levels of skating ability (he can move along slowly). The pace of the tour meant that more confident skaters could go ahead and loop back. An additional tour guide/contingency for injuries may have been useful as one member of group was injured early on, but this didn’t detract much from the experience. Our guide, Caisa, was warm and helpful, but also allowed us the freedom to skate and enjoy the experience. Sitting by the lake with a hot soup and coffee was wonderfully relaxing.
Would definitely do this again if the opportunity arose!

One of the best experiences I had in Stockholm! - Skating through fresh powder with expert guides and friendly guests, listening to the lake making outer-space laser beam noises was truly memorable. The soup and snacks around the campfire at lunchtime were also throughly enjoyable. Smooth operation from start to finish - very well organised. Thank you Green Trails, I’d love to come back for your summer kayaking trips 🙏

Thank you for 2 fantastic days - Everyone who likes skating must have had this experience at least once in their life. We felt safe and had a lot of fun on the ice. The equipment was also top notch: Rossingnol shoes, Rottefeller bindings, Zandstra blades.

3 day skate. Loved it - We actually did the three day ice skating trip, and had a fantastic time. The Guides filled us with confidence and accommodation was excellent! We were lucky to have great weather and ice as well. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors in Winter and has some sliding experience, Nordic skiing, skating, rollerblading.

Amazing experience! - I booked the beginners day of skating for my fiancés 30th birthday trip and it truly was one of the best experiences. We started off by getting to know other members of the group, had a safety briefing etc before driving approx 30 mins to the lake where we then got our skates on and got used to skating on the ice! We skated across the lake to a small island and had a lovely picnic with a campfire and food was provided (very nice soup, crackers, cheese and hot drinks). We then went back on the lake for some more skating before heading back. If you are visiting Stockholm I cannot recommend this experience enough. Our guide was absolutely fantastic - very friendly and professional. We loved it!
