About the trip

Would you like to try tour skating but feel hesitant to venture out on your own? Join us for a wonderful day on the skating track in Tavelsjö!

  • Date: 8 February 2025
  • Place: Tavelsjö
  • Price: 300 kr

Trip description

We’ll meet in the morning at Ica Matboa in Tavelsjö, where the tour begins with a brief safety review and an equipment check. Then we’ll head out onto the plowed ice track that winds around the lake. We’ll skate at a pace that suits everyone until hunger calls! After a shared lunch and some cozy time by the fire, we’ll continue skating to ensure we’re back at Ica by 15:00, in time for those taking the bus back to Umeå.
