Description

The Ice Ultra in Lapland, Sweden, is the toughest winter ultra on the planet. The Ice Ultra takes you through breathtaking scenery in the depths of winter in Swedish Lapland. The Ice Ultra is an event for purists seeking the ultimate extreme experience.

The Ice Ultra in Lapland is an incredible adventure that will captivate you for four days. No winter ultra is as tough and unpredictable as the Ice Ultra in Sweden. The weather in this Arctic region can change at any time, making the race even harder and more challenging than it already is. Over a distance of 230 km, you will cross frozen lakes, hibernating forests, and snow-capped mountains in Swedish Lapland. Temperatures can drop to as low as -30 degrees Celsius, living up to the Ice Ultra's name. The winter ultrarun takes you through pristine nature, which has even been declared a UNESCO protected area, where even snowmobiles are no longer allowed. This makes The Ice Ultra an extreme physical and mental challenge that will demand everything from you.
