The Skrinnarn guide to Lake Mälaren

Lake Mälaren is by far Sweden's most visited lake for long-distance ice skating. In the book you can read about the different parts of Lake Mälaren and Lake Hjälmaren from a skater's point of view.

Author Mårten Ajne, one of Sweden's most experienced and knowledgeable skaters, has processed more than fifty years of ice and weather data and combined this with his own and the skating clubs' experiences.

A major focus is on the book's specially designed maps that show the normal freezing order in numbered and colored zones, ship channels, surface currents, currents, inflows, collisions, break-up limits and other ice warnings. The reader is also given suggestions for trips during different ice-forming stages with suitable starting points, sights, rest areas and connecting walks.

The book covers Lake Mälaren, but Lake Hjälmaren is also covered in the book. Don't miss that we also have a special skating map of Lake Mälaren, which is an excellent complement to the guidebook.
