Our private track is 500m long with great high-speed straight and tough corners for drifting. There are plenty of spots for overtaking. Safety is our main priority. When we build the track, we always remember to take care of sharp corners and faster straights. We build a snow wall to protect from damage and injuries if a kart ends up outside of the track. Spectators have limited approach to the track and observe from safe distance. All drivers wear protective gear including helmet. Should still something happen, our guides have first aid schooling and know well what to do and what not to do to minimize all risks.
For safety reasons, children under the age of 10 years old and under the height of 150 cm are not allowed to drive the ice karting.
Our ice karting always includes a full winter gear you will need to safely participate in the activity. Our professional guides will give you instructions how to get the most out of the exciting activity.
Additional Info
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

A Must-Try Winter Racing Experience

5.00Arctic karting was so much fun and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Whether you’re a fan of racing or not, karting on snow is an experience everyone can enjoy. Sliding around the icy track added an exciting and playful challenge, making it a truly unique and unforgettable activity. We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something different in a winter setting.
Nice family outing

5.00Again very friendly people and nice experience, especially if you love go-karting. The track is not very big and you drive 2x 10 minutes. We would have liked to have gone a few more sessions. But certainly fun to do if you are looking for a short activity. Also because children over 1.50m are allowed to drive themselves and do not have a children's go-kart.

1.00The place was closed at the time of booking. I'm looking for my refund and nothing yet. Bad booking around here.
Excellent setup....

5.00Excellent setup. Efficient and well organized. Very fast and challenging too! Wife and small kids came along to watch and had marshmallows by fire with great people that work there. One tip. Non-participants just get a bolt (scandi uber) to the place rather than pay 15 euro for a spectator spot on the bus. Otherwise whole thing always great!!

4.00very good reception from the staff. One of the agency s staff spoke French. very good activity I recommend my 10-year-old son to love. be careful about the minimum height of 1.50m for children. Fortunately the staff found a solution for my son who was only 1.45m tall. There was even enough to grill chamallows. I recommend this agency we went through getyourguide to buy the tickets. remember to book in advance because tickets leave quickly.
We felt like F1 drivers xD
