Driving on ice is exciting
Ice Driving Sweden: The Experience
In the far north of Sweden lies a ski village called Åre, also known as “the jewel of the Swedish mountains” and playing host to the largest continuous ski area north of the Alps, creating the perfect backdrop to experience driving at its best! Many World Rally championship teams choose to test their vehicle set ups here due to the abundance of ice and snow and the perfect extreme conditions.
For 2024 we are offering you the opportunity to control the power of high performance cars and experience the exhilaration of driving on ice. With over 1000 studs on each tyre, these cars are perfect to help you sharpen your line and car control. Our team of some of the most experienced ice and snow driving instructors will ensure you get the most out of your time on the ice, and develop your skills over the action-packed two day period. You will also experience the thrill of a snowmobile safari which is just as much fun as the ice driving!
We arrived in Sweden and were met by Graeme and very swiftly driven to the lovely lakeside hotel. We had
extended our stay and with a plus one we found the hotel swimming pool and spa facilities very relaxing . We also
really enjoyed the village of Åre with its three skiing areas of beautiful uncrowded slopes.
The main event, the ice driving, was efficiently organised with very knowledgeable instructors making the trip memorable and exciting.
As the plus one I was invited to watch on the 2nd day and felt part of the experience. As a classic motorsport driver the
transferred knowledge gained and confidence on the ice may well help on those wet weekends motor racing back
in the UK ! We highly recommend having a go!
