Sports holiday tips for winter activities outside in the fresh air
Ski on the cross-country track or down the slopes. Take a trip with cross-country skates. Maybe you dare to take a winter bath? In Gävle you can do all of this. Go out and enjoy wintry activities and pack a smart lunch bag.
Tip! Make your own hot chocolate. All that is needed is a cup of milk drink of your choice, 2 teaspoons of cocoa and 2 teaspoons of honey. Stir together and heat in a saucepan on the stove.
Maximize the lunch bag - cook your food over an open fire
Pack your lunch bag and go on an adventure. Let old favorites be joined by food you easily cook over an open fire.
Some tips for food that the whole family will appreciate:
- Pinnbröd – a simple dough prepared at home. The dough is wrapped on a stick and grilled over the open fire until nicely colored. Then enjoy with butter, jam or honey.
- Sausage - a "grilled with bread" is a classic. Choose your favorites and enjoy with classic accessories.
- Coal bun – like a pancake with rimmed pork that is fried in a frying pan directly over the fire. Serve with lingonberry jam.
- Marshmallows – Grilled marshmallows are a winner for both young and old. Eat as is or between a couple of biscuits and some milk chocolate.
Enjoy cross-country skating - important to consider
Cross-country skating is a nature experience that offers nature, speed and excitement. But it also requires respect and knowledge. Safety is essential and something you should never skimp on. All skiing takes place at your own risk and responsibility and we recommend that you carefully find out the ice conditions before you go out on the ice and that you have the right equipment with you.
- Bring an ice spike, the skater's sense of touch. It also works as a balance support and help when staking.
- Ice spikes and whistle. Make sure the ice spikes and whistle are high up on the chin so you can easily find them.
- Lifeline that can be thrown both from the wake and from the ice without removing the backpack.
- Please use a helmet.
- Backpack to pack things in, for example a change of clothes. The backpack is the skater's most important buoyancy aid. For best buoyancy, the contents are packed waterproof and it should sit correctly on the back with waist strap, chest strap and crotch strap for when walking through the ice.
- Always carry a mobile phone in a waterproof case.
- Always find out the status of the ice before heading out.
Energetic, exciting and fun indoor activities
