Activity Holidays

November 16th, 2007

The nature of Estonia is diverse, beautiful and – above all – plentiful! The snowy winters offer picturesque landscapes and lots of different ways to spend unforgettable and exciting winter holidays. Active holidaying in winter nature gives you positive charge and energy – exactly what you need to return to everyday life. Spending a day toddling around in nature with funny footwear or climbing up steep icy rock, you may snow shoes experience something that will stay with you for a long time.

There are many different winter hikes you can choose from. You can go on more traditional hikes on foot, ski or skates, but you can also choose something more extraordinary. A perfect hike of couple of hours ends with a hot meal and hot tea with pastry eaten on a snowy stump.

One of the more extraordinary hikes would be on snow shoes. These date back 6000 years and were made out of willow twigs and leather. Today the snow shoes are made from more modern materials like plastic and aluminium. They will make your journey on the snow easier by dissipating your body weight.

Ice Climbing The hikes on a kick sledge are a rediscovered old riding gadget. Most Estonians remember the kick sledges as an amusing way to give a ride to a friend. Nowadays the kick sledge is a one-man steel chassis vehicle and, truth be told, one has to survive the trip on one’s own. Since the runners can be changed, the kick sledge can be easily used both on ice and on fluffy snow.

If you want to bring yourself to a test and seek for a more exiting holiday, then you should try ice-climbing. Ice-climbing must be one of the most exciting sport activities that you can do during the winter time. To make it even more thrilling, there are climbing sessions offered in the darkness of the evening.

You can easily find yourself a travel organiser and come to enjoy the magnificent Estonian winter. You can find contacts on the following sites:
