Luleå Ice Road
Isvägen / Skridskobanan, Luleå
Ice roads and a loop of skating trails on the frozen Gulf of Bothnia in winter, perfect for walking, skating, and kick-sledding.
Each winter, once the sea freezes over, the city council clears several kilometers of skating and walking trails on the sea ice beyond the South Harbour. When the ice is thick enough, it also opens a car ice road to nearby islands. Visitors can rent skates or Nordic kick sleds (sparks) and glide across the ice in front of the city skyline, and on clear nights there is even a chance to see the northern lights. Openings depend on ice conditions. Stick only to officially marked routes and never go out on the ice on your own.
Opening hours
Open all day in winter (subject to ice conditions)
