Welcome to Straand on ICE 2024! We expand our horizons with ice track driving. In collaboration with NMK Seljord, there will be ice track driving on flat lake in Flatdal on February 24.
Booking of accommodation with ice rink driving opens on 9 February at 18:00 and there will be a limited number of places and is therefore unfortunately not possible to book driving without accommodation.

There will be a course in driving technique and we give you the opportunity for useful driving training on snow and ice. This event is for everyone, whether it is a rigged ice cream truck or you have a grom private car that you want to test on the ice.

The event includes:
  • Accommodation at Straand Hotel
  • Breakfast during your stay
  • Simple theory
  • Ice track driving

We wish you a fast-paced day on the ice with lots of fun and good skiing experiences!
After the drive, there will be an AfterDrive with DJ Fredric Aasbø on the roof terrace if the weather permits, otherwise it will be in the piano bar in front of the fireplace.

Fredric Aasbø is coming, are you?
