Ice driving is an awe-inspiring experience like no other, where race drivers develop their skills driving flat out on a frozen lake in the middle of Scandinavia - sideways!
In one of the most stunning environments in the world, Ice driving in Sweden is the ultimate driver training programme. Top drivers including Schumacher and Raikkonen perfect their skills on frozen lakes every year.
The Experience
In the far north of Sweden lies a small village called Kall which translated is Swedish for Cold! Facing the awe-inspiring, untouched side of Mount Åre, this is most definitely the perfect place to experience driving at its best! Hugely supported by the late Colin McRae, many World Rally championship teams choose to test their vehicle set ups here due to the abundance of ice and snow and the perfect extreme conditions.
For 2013 we are able to offer you the opportunity to control the power of the Porsche and experience the exhilaration of Ice Driving for yourself. With 380 - 1100 spikes on each tyre, these Porsches are perfect to help you improve your basic driving skills or sharpen your racing line. Other high performance cars such as the Golf 'R' are also available. Whatever your level or desire, our team of some of the most experienced ice and snow driving instructors will be at your side you ensure you get the most out of your time on the ice.

Jo – Ascot
“The experience was all that was expected and more, it was a steep learning curve and left me much more able and confident with car control. The hotel and food were superb, the sauna with the views was just soooo nice. Skidoos are always good fun, especially over the local terrain”
Joe – Cambridge
“A truly fantastic driving experience, well organised, great instructors, good company, the weekend ticked all my boxes and it was something I've would never have dreamt of doing but now am looking forward to the next time. I not only enjoyed myself, but also learnt a lot!!!!!”
Robert – Isle of White
“An extremely enjoyable weekend; action packed with ice driving and snowmobiling that would be thoroughly enjoyed by both ‘petrol heads’ as well as their partners. The skills learned during the weekend are equally applicable to driving on roads back home or on the track and the cars used are a drivers dream – thoroughly recommended 10/10”
Gary – Jersey
“I have been racing for 9 years and a friend recommended Ice Driving.Net, I cannot believe how much I learned over two days. When I went out on track in the wet after the course, I felt so much more confident and my times were so much more competitive. If it’s good enough for Michael Schumacher it’s certainly good enough for me! I will be back!”
Robert – Essex
“We visited Kall in January 2010 for the first time and it was fantastic, much better than I could have ever expected. It was like no other driving course I have been on, Suzanne and the team were superb. I would definitely recommend the experience.”
Anne – London
