Nordic skiing in Tavastudden

Join us for a wonderful day trip to Tavastudden in early April! Together, we’ll enjoy one of the last days of late winter by the sea. The ski tour begins at a parking area in the forest, and soon the landscape opens up towards the sea. Depending on the snow conditions, we’ll either ski through the tranquil forest or along the serene coastline.

After a couple of kilometers, we’ll reach the first shelter of the trip, where we’ll take a well-deserved coffee break. From there, we’ll continue towards our destination – Tavastudden. Once there, we’ll prepare a shared lunch and embrace the arrival of spring in the peaceful archipelago setting.

When we’re satisfied and full of impressions, we’ll make our way back, first to the parking area and then onwards by minibus to IKSU. A perfect day for nature experiences and camaraderie – come along!

During the pre-meeting we go through all equipment and make eventual adjustments of the packing list, for example depending on the weather.

Much of the equipment is available for rental in our outdoor shop Sarek. As a participant you get a reduced price.
