Ice Drive Sweden

Has anyone been over to Scandinavia for "ice driving"?

I've been looking at booking Ice Drive Sweden for 2-3 days in Jan/Feb 2022 and thought I'd ask here in case anyone has done it in the past and recommended/didn't think it was worth doing.

I did a similar trip back in '15 and it was one of the best automotive experiences I've had. Highly recommended – and doubly so if you like cold environments and spectacular scenery.

I'm definitely going to have to try and do that all again at some point. So much fun. :cool:

Great photos! What company did you use? I'm trying to decide if 2 days is the perfect amount or whether it's worth doing a 3rd day. The flights from Manchester are better for 3 days but then there's the added cost of renting a car for another day.

It was Laponie (Lapland) Ice Driving – although I was there for a Nissan event (as you can probably tell). I think, after two days, the novelty might have worn off/you'll need a break, but it might just be worth staying out there for another day and exploring, perhaps.

Wait till January when we get 1" of snow for a few hours.

Jack Whitehall lookalike?

Never done one, few friends have, unanimous that it's brilliant.

DO IT.

Two drivers on a RAF rally team I was involved with did it, one experienced and one very novice, both echoed the comments from folks here and said it was epic.

Booked flights and a cabin for end of Jan. Just need to decide which cars now. Thinking 330i and 130i as they’ll be the closest to my E46 M3.
