Touareg Activities

Day 1.

You will fly from Germany to the Swedish capital, Stockholm. From here, you will get a connecting flight to Östersund in the central Swedish province of Jämtland. From here, there is a bus transfer to your home during your stay, the Kall Auto Lodge. Kall is the ideal place for winter driving training in the Tiguan and Golf R32. World Rally Championship teams regularly test their vehicles on ice and snow here. There are long and demanding ice circuits for the ultimate in driving fun. After checking in at the lodge, you will meet your instructors. There will be a short talk, and then your first exciting adventure on ice – take your seats and be driven in a rally Tiguan. You will then dine together and be given a briefing about what to expect for the next few days.

Day 2.

You wake up to your first morning in Sweden's snowy Jämtland, somewhere between Norway and Lapland. After a cheerful "God morgon!", it's time for a hearty Swedish breakfast. This will stand you in good stead for an interesting training session on handling and safety on icy surfaces. During the first exercise in the Tiguan and Golf R32, you will already take to the ice – "controlled oversteering" may sound dry and technical, but it is guaranteed to get the pulse racing. A simple lunch will be served in a tepee en route: just the thing to replenish your energy reserves before getting back to the lake. Before dinner, there's time for another drive with the instructors and lots of useful, individual tips for the following day. And after dinner together – and a warming digestif should you wish – all that remains is to toast some of the day's best mishaps before going to bed. "God natt!"

Day 3.

After breakfast, a host of new activities awaits you: the Tiguan and Golf R32 are all set. The initial drive on a demanding lake route will be followed by technical feedback from the instructors. You will soon notice that these direct assessments of your performance are important for your own driving technique. A generous lunch awaits in the tepee once again, after which the focus will turn back to one of the sportiest types of driving: if you succeed here, you will already have a highly developed sense of safe driving. There's still time to take to the snow again, should you wish – this time on snowmobiles instead of by car. The snowmobile tour is available for a supplement and will take you on a journey through wonderfully unspoilt winter landscape. This is followed by one last circuit to bring the day to a close on the ice. This action-packed day draws to a close with dinner together and a trip to the bar.

Day 4.

On parting, the Swedes say "På återseende", or "Until we meet again", and they really do mean it. After breakfast, the bus sets off for Östersund airport and the flight back to Frankfurt via Stockholm. You will take with you lots of wonderful memories from the far north, not least of your experience on various icy surfaces, which will have given you a valuable understanding of driving and safety behind the wheel – a significant improvement within only a few days that will enable you to enjoy your Volkswagen to the full.
