Skating on natural ice, Nordic skating

This excursion allows you to skate easily and safely on natural ice and enjoy the peace and beauty of winter nature with an experienced and trained guide. No previous experience or training in skating is required. A short picnic break will be held in a scenic landscape during the two-hour tour.

Weather: on natural ice, you always move on nature's terms. The stunning seascapes of East Helsinki are preferred for ice skating. The starting point is the premises of Helsingin Retkiluistelun at Kallvikinniementie 35, 00980 Helsinki. Due to the conditions, the starting point or location may sometimes have to be moved. This happens surprisingly rarely and will be communicated separately. The same applies if less than 4 people sign up for the trip.

If sea ice does not allow skating, the excursion will take place on natural ice or ploughed tracks on nearby lakes. If the weather does not allow skating at all, the start time will be postponed. If the rescheduling is not successful, the money will be refunded.

The price includes:
Skating and safety equipment: skates, boots, ice claws, whistle, ice poles, helmet, knee pads, floating backpack, throw line. Equipment handover, instruction, ice information, guiding. Accident insurance.
