BMW Snow & Ice Experience
The BMW snow and ice experiences occur against idyllic alpine backdrops in Sölden, on studded tyres in Pitztal or Arjeplog, Sweden.
BMW offer an Ice Training Course (again with three levels to choose from). You can book the package for up to twenty participants. So, they also make a great corporate event for your work team or clients.
The Snow Drift Training Courses teach the knack of the perfect drift, guaranteeing thrills and fun along the way.
And finally, the BMW Snow Training Courses help you master the art of driving over black ice and snow-covered roads. The BMW Snow Deluxe course brings a touch of 007 action to the experience with many ‘Bond’ style add-ons.
All the experiences include accommodation.

You’ll find the Jaguar Ice Academy at the very edge of the Swedish Arctic Circle, Arjeplog. It’s a surreal sub-zero wilderness.
The Ice Drive Lite is a one-day course for those short on time, while the Ice Drive Challenge takes place over three or four days.
Both packages include accommodation, and they guarantee to sharpen your driving skills with a bucket of fun thrown in!

The U.K.-based company, Extreme Rally, offers an Ice Driving package offering the thrill of driving a rally car on sparkling snow and ice.
