Rent of ice skates in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve in Sweden

Ice skate rental in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve in Sweden, 2,5 hours drive from the Swedish capital Stockholm.

Between firm ice and snow on the ice, there is usually a golden period with perfect ice which makes fantastic ice skating excursions possible. Normally this period of time occurs between mid-December to mid-January.

Suggestions of ice skating trips

One day: on day trips, you choose if you would like to skate along the ice skating trail to the North or along the ice skating trail to the South of Kloten. The trail to the north allows a round trip distance of 50 km and the trail to the south allows a round trip distance of 20 km. 

Two days: on ice skating trips on two days you are recommended to skate along the northern trail one day and along the southern trail one day.

The Wilderness Lodge - The perfect ice skating base 

During the nights the recommendation is to stay at the Wilderness Lodge in Kloten - The perfect ice skating base, between the two ice skating trails. Staying at the Wilderness Lodge is also an excellent option the night before and after the ice skating excursion.
