Under the supervision of skilled instructors drive a Saab 9-3 Sport Combi (or similar) and begin with manoeuvring tests on the ice which push the ABS and stabilization systems to the limit.

Then head out onto the track with the instructor guiding you around a course that allows you to test the car, its systems and your own abilities at up to 100km/hr. Automatic and manual cars are available. Coffee and cakes are served in a Sami-style tent as everyone gets a chance to drive, normally two persons to a vehicle. Finally, out comes the stopwatch to find out who is the day’s rally ace! The ice awaits, engine revving, snow flying from the tyres–this is awesome!

SKIING AT THE ICEHOTEL

Skiing in Lapland

Combine your Skiing holidays in Lapland with a stay at the ICEHOTEL®
Duration: 4 or 7 nights
As international ski resorts go, Riksgransen and Bjorkliden in Swedish Lapland are relatively well kept secrets. Nestled amidst spectacular scenery the resorts are fairly petite and unassuming but what they can boast, apart from being the most northerly ski resorts in the world, is lots and lots of snow – Bjorkliden until mid May and in the case of Riksgransen, until late June!
