Best possible trail traction due to the prevailing conditions

As water ways and forest trails offers varied opportunities for trail traction, it is the prevailing snow, ice and wind conditions that offer the visiting skiers a variety of ski tracks. The ski tracks are always adapted to fit the prevailing natural conditions and the visitors are often offered different ski track combinations on different visits.

The Wilderness Lodge - The perfect ski base

During the nights the recommendation is to stay at the Wilderness Lodge in Kloten - The perfect ski base with the ski tracks starting and ending right outside of the door. Staying at the Wilderness Lodge is also an excellent option the night before and after the skiing excursion.

Ski tours and ski skating excursions in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve

Between the first centimeters of snow on the frozen waterways and too much snow for skiing, there is usually a golden period with perfect free skiing conditions which makes fantastic ski touring and ski skating excursions possible. Normally this period of time occurs between mid-January and mid-February. When you go skiing on the lakes you need safety ice nails and information on where it is safe to go. If you don't have your own safety ice nails, you will find them for rent for 40 SEK/day. 

Prerequisite for ski rental

20 cm of snow, or 3 cm of snow on safe ice. It is important that the customer take off the skis if the ski track pass roads.
