The skating season in Estonia usually
lasts from the end of December till the middle of March. Best skating
time is the beginning of January when ice on the sea is strong enough
and clean from snow.
Best places for trip skating in Estonia
are:
Soodla water reservoir – this is
a man made lake where Tallinn partly gets its water. Reservoir is
almost 7 km long offering great possibilities for nature friendly
activity.
Hiiumaa islets in western Estonia
– protected and shallow sea ensures good ice conditions that stay
stable during the entire winter. Skating takes place in nature
protection area that is open for visitors during the winter time.
There are some great tourist farms that offer value prices during
the winter.
Haapsalu bay between Haapsalu and
Noarootsi – this shallow bay is protected from Baltic sea waves.
It freezes early in the season. Haapsalu bay is known as a good
place for ice sailing competitions. Accommodation in Haapsalu is
easy to find and affordable during the winter months.
Bays on the North coast of Estonia
– they froze only during coldest winters and usually late
February. But when they froze they offer great skating opportunities
while other areas might already be covered with snow.
SEIKLEJA.COM is offering tours to all
of these regions. Experienced guides make sure that all the safety
aspects are taken into account and safety measures fulfilled
(icepicks, watertight packing etc). We constantly monitor the ice
situation. There are also distinctive nature and history highlights
you will hear during the trip.
