What is Nordic Skating?

Nordic Skating, also known as Skike, is a form of ice skating that combines elements of traditional ice skating and cross-country skiing. Unlike traditional ice skating, which is limited to ice rinks, Nordic Skating allows you to explore frozen lakes, rivers, and other natural ice formations. Instead of using ice skates, Nordic Skating involves using specially designed skates with longer blades and a Nordic ski-like attachment. This unique combination allows you to skate effortlessly on frozen surfaces, giving you the chance to explore untouched winter landscapes.

Preparing for your Nordic Skating Adventure

Now that you’re excited about hitting the ice, here are some essential tips to help you prepare for your Nordic Skating adventure:
