This can be a reality with the Lapland Ice Driving experience. Discover a place of pristine and surprising beauty and authenticity, with lakes stretching as far as the eye can see, surrounded by immense forests of snow- covered pines and arctic tundra. Welcome to Arjeplog, the European capital of extreme weather car testing, a mere 70 km from the Arctic Circle. This is the place where magic and technology become one, where powerful sports car engines whisper under the Northern lights. For just 14 weeks each winter, Lapland Ice Driving transforms the surface of the frozen Lake Udjaur into an enormous 1,250 acre private drifting area, making it the world’s largest driving centre, still unrivalled. Here you will have the unique chance to try some of the 13 different tracks, including exclusive and officially-licensed, full-scale Formula One reproductions of Silverstone, the Nürburgring and Paul Ricard.
