Safety on natural ice

A cold day or visible tracks do not prove that natural ice is safe. Knowledge, company, rescue skills and current local conditions are essential. Read the guidance from the Swedish Ice Safety Council before planning a trip.

Plan for the conditions you will meet

Choose distance, terrain and equipment for the least experienced person in the group. Allow time for breaks and a safe return. Local signs and current conditions take priority over a general route suggestion.

Check again before leaving

Weather, wind, snow, water and ice can change quickly. Use up-to-date local information and ask us if you are unsure about a route or equipment. Leave space for other visitors and wildlife, and take your litter home.
