Winter saga: Adventure among snow and ice
Share
When winter lays its blanket of snow over Sweden, the landscape transforms into a magical world of white expanses and sparkling ice. It is a time for unique adventures and unforgettable experiences in nature. Here are some of the most exciting winter activities you can experience with Swedish Wilderness Adventures, along with our top tips for staying warm and safe during your adventures.
Touring skis – slide through the winter landscape
Touring skis give you the opportunity to explore the untouched Swedish nature at your own pace. It's one of the most traditional ways to make your way through the snow and offers a sense of freedom as you slide across vast snow-covered landscapes. You can enjoy peaceful walks through forests and across frozen lakes, far from the noise of the city.
Tip: Use touring skis with trail skins to easily climb steep slopes, and make sure you have a map and compass with you if you go on longer tours.
Ice fishing – A peaceful experience on frozen lakes
For those looking for a quieter activity, ice fishing is an excellent option. Sit by a drilled wake on a frozen lake, cast the line and enjoy the silence. Ice fishing is not only a chance to catch fresh fish, but also a calming experience that provides time for reflection.
Tip: Use insulated seating pads and warm clothing to keep you warm during the sedentary moments. Don't forget a hand warmer and something hot to drink.
Northern lights safari - chasing the magic in the sky
There are few things as magical as watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky. A Northern Lights safari gives you the chance to experience this natural phenomenon in all its glory. Join us on a guided tour to places with minimal light pollution, where the chances of seeing the northern lights are the greatest.
Tip: Make sure the camera is set for night photography if you want to capture the northern lights on picture. Dress warmly, especially around the head and feet, as you will be standing still for long periods.
Accommodation – cozy cottages for the winter evenings
After a day full of winter adventures, it is important to be able to retreat to a warm and inviting place. Swedish Wilderness Adventures offers a selection of cozy accommodations, where you can relax by an open fire, enjoy a sauna and reflect on the day's experiences.
Recommendation: Choose accommodation with access to a sauna or hot tub – the perfect way to warm up after a cold day outside.
Stay warm and safe during your winter adventures
Winter's cold climate places special demands on clothing and equipment. Here are some general tips to keep you warm and safe:
- Layer-on-layer: Wear several layers of clothing to be able to adapt to temperature and activity level.
- Waterproof clothing: Make sure the outermost layer is waterproof and windproof.
- Good footing: Wear winter boots with good grip, and consider spikes if walking on icy surfaces.
- Warming accessories: Hat, gloves and a warm scarf are a must to protect the extremities.
