• Ice Skating: I've already reported on the outdoor H2O ice skating rink inwards the middle of the metropolis at Kungsträdgården. If yous experience similar doing some long distance skating on the frozen lakes and rivers to a greater extent than or less Stockholm, too thus it is ameliorate to create it inwards a grouping amongst a conduct (it's yet a niggling early on inwards the season). Two skillful conduct companies that offers such tours, including equipment rental, are the Stockholms Guidebyrå too Ice Guide. They tin laissez passer on notice hold upwards contacted at info@stockholmsguidebyra.se too info@iceguide.se (they accept a contact cast on their website) for to a greater extent than data too booking.

• Alpine Skiing & Snowboarding: There are several hills inwards too to a greater extent than or less Stockholm high plenty to back upwards some alpine skiing! I've already reported on the opening of Hammarbybacken this week. This is yesteryear far the closest slope, inwards fact yous tin laissez passer on notice run across the gradient from parts of Södermalm where the Rival Hotel is located too the at that spot is a non bad stance of the metropolis from the top of the hill. There are lifts too a eating seat too they create rent skiing equipment! Click here for some brusque movies of the slope. There are a few other slopes on the outskirts of the city... including Ekholmsnäsbacken, Flottsbro too Väsjöbacken. 

 

I would hold upwards remiss inwards talking nearly wintertime sport activities without mentioning Hellasgården. This nature surface area is located in Nacka, but a fifteen infinitesimal charabanc ride on #401 from Slussen (10 infinitesimal walk from the hotel). Here yous tin laissez passer on notice respect plenty of walking paths, cross skiing tracks too outdoor ice skating (with rental). Another action offered here, non for the faint of see (literally), is ice swimming. A real nordic action involving heating upwards inwards a sauna or bastu too and thus plunging into frigid waters. Brrrr...!
