Cross Country Skiing Stockholm
Cross Country Skiing in Stockholm is a blast. Imagine moving through the frozen forest on a pair of skis with the winter sun shining on your face. Putting one ski before the other, you glide through the snowy tracks in a flowing motion. Apart from your guide, it’s just you, the track, your fellow skiers, and the winter forest around you. Cross country skiing is as Swedish as it gets, and should not be missed on your active visit to Stockholm!

Cross Country Skiing Stockholm: what to see?
Magical and beautiful winter forest combined with frozen lakes covered by snow. Wildlife (tracks) of animals such as deer, moose, fox etc can be seen as we glide soundlessly through the forest. If natural snow levels are less than ideal, we will make use of the forest tracks made by snow cannons which offer similar scenery. Alternatively we carry out a cross country skating trip during which we will spend our day on the ice.

Other important information
- This tour involves physical motion and being in healthy shape is therefore required.
- No prior cross country skiing experience is required.
- We aim to ski on natural snow, but if conditions so require we will make use of forest tracks prepared by snow cannons (entrance fee included in the price). If according to our judgement an ice skating trip will give our guests a better experience due to conditions, we reserve the right to carry out a cross country skating trip instead.
