Tour skating is an outdoor activity where you skate on natural ice, such as lakes, rivers, or the sea. It is a popular winter activity, especially in the Nordic countries, offering an opportunity to enjoy nature and cover long distances on ice. Tour skating can be calm and relaxing or fast-paced and sporty, depending on personal preferences and ice conditions.

How to Get Started with Tour Skating?

Equipment:

Tour skates are longer than regular skates and are often attached to hiking or ski boots. This allows for more comfortable and efficient movement on ice.

Poles help maintain balance and increase speed. In tour skating, you can use both tour skating and roller skating poles. The appropriate length of a tour skating pole is determined by the user's height. Choose a pole that is your height x 0.85 + 5 cm. For example: a 180 cm skater (180*0.85 = 153 cm + 5 cm) chooses a 158 cm long pole.

Safety Equipment:

Ice picks, a throw rope, and a flotation suit or life jacket are important safety equipment. Ice picks are a crucial safety tool in tour skating and other ice activities. They are small, sharp spikes attached to handles, used to help get out of the ice if you fall in. Ice picks should be carried on a string around the neck or in a pocket for easy access in an emergency.


A throw rope is a rescue tool used especially in water rescue situations, such as when moving on ice if someone falls in. It is a long, floating rope packed in an easily throwable bag. The throw rope is designed to be quickly and accurately thrown to a person in need of help.


Many confuse flotation and rescue suits - and no wonder. The difference between flotation and rescue suits is that a flotation suit is a garment with buoyant elements placed inside like a life jacket - the person in the water gets wet, but when used correctly, the flotation suit prevents sinking. A rescue suit, on the other hand, relies on tight latex or neoprene cuffs around the wrists and neck to prevent water from entering the suit.

Ensure the ice is thick enough and safe for skating. Generally, ice at least 5-10 cm thick is safe, but this can vary depending on conditions. Never go tour skating alone. It's good to have company so that help is available quickly if needed.
Plan your route in advance and make sure you know the ice conditions in the area. It's good to use GPS devices for navigation, but a more experienced navigator can also manage with a map.
Tour skating requires a slightly different technique than traditional skating, so it's good to practice both skating technique and balance leisurely.


If you're a beginner, consider taking a tour skating course, which many localities offer. It's always easier to learn from experienced people than to learn independently, but it's not impossible either, as long as you carefully follow these tips and remember to prioritize safety!

Enjoyable skating wishes,
