‘Skiing, hiking and ice-fishing from the door’: readers’ favourite Nordic winter trips

Our tipsters wrap up warm and head to northern Europe, finding glacier lakes, frozen seas, snowy forests, reindeer herds and – happily – saunas and hot tubs

We booked a brilliant skating experience in the Stockholm archipelago with True Nature Sweden. There are one-day guided tours for beginners and more experienced skaters (from 13 years upwards). Skating on the sea, or on lakes, feeling the wind blow (faster as you up your speed!) is truly exhilarating. The day starts with some training and a safety briefing. True Nature Sweden organises everything, including lunches made over open fires and fika (coffee and cake) at sunset.
