Discover Friesland at its best
If it freezes heavily this year, Friesland will be in turmoil.
Because they are the best at skating in this province.
But even without ice, Friesland is worth a visit in winter.
Discover the benefits.
Is winter your favorite season?
Friesland is pre-eminently the best and most beautiful province in the north of the Netherlands to celebrate your holiday or weekend away from one of our holiday homes.
We’ll explain why.
Cities in the Christmas spirit
Nothing is as atmospheric as twinkling lights and decorations. The Frisian cities, such as Sneek, Leeuwarden, Dokkum and Hindeloopen, are also wrapped in Christmas atmosphere every year and are therefore definitely worth a visit. And how wonderful it is to warm up somewhere inside with hot chocolate or the Frisian herbal bitter Berenburg.
Ice skating in Friesland
Friesland has beautiful lakes and nature reserves that can turn beautiful white in winter. It is a fantastic sight when the Frisian lakes are completely frozen. If it freezes hard for a week, Friesland is the place to go on endless ice skating trips. In almost all Frisian villages you will find an ice rink, where everyone can skate safely to their heart’s content.
Hiking and cycling in winter
You don’t have to go abroad to get some fresh air, get a breath of fresh air or see beautiful nature. In winter, take a nice walk along the Frisian IJsselmeer coast, cycle through the Gaasterland forests or enjoy the varied landscape in De Alde Feane National Park. Friesland has countless beautiful places, which are also worth a visit in winter.
