Estonian Winter

Winters in Estonia are characterized by short and cold days. The mercury in this period could fall below – 20 degrees. Depending on the temperature is even possible to have the ice to the nearby islands to walk or skate. This is still very unique. Among Estonians, ice fishing is also popular. Through a large and small drill rod little one tries to catch fish.

The winter is associated with snow. On average there is snow 100 days a year, so the essence of the beautiful landscapes more emerges. We recommend for winter activities to travel to the winter capital of Estonia, Oepää. In this small area can find mountains, perfect for skiing and snowboarding can.

The most popular activity in the winter cross-country skiing. Because snow is the long flat area to land an excellent cross-country skiing. You can follow routes in different areas by the beautiful winter nature. In Tallinn (nommé) is a 4 kilometer long route laid out where you can cross-country skiing. This route is ideal to combine with a visit to Tallinn.
