Ice karting in Levi takes the familiar thrill of go-karting and moves it onto a frozen ice track — with studded tyres that grip just enough to steer but not enough to stop you sliding. It’s chaotic, hilarious and surprisingly addictive. One of the top-rated activities in Levi on Tripadvisor, and a firm favourite with groups.

🏎️ What Is Ice Karting?
Ice karting uses four-stroke go-karts fitted with studded tyres, driven on a prepared ice track outdoors. The studs give just enough grip to accelerate and steer, but the ice means the karts slide through corners — which is the point. Unlike tarmac karting, ice karting is more about managing oversteer and feeling the kart move beneath you than raw speed. It’s more accessible than it sounds — the tracks are designed for all skill levels — and the combination of speed, sliding and cold air is genuinely exhilarating.
👨👩👧 Who Is It For?
Ice karting is popular with adults and teenagers — the minimum height of 140 cm means younger children can’t participate, but most adults and teens will find it immediately enjoyable. It’s a great activity for groups, couples and anyone who wants something different from the standard safari activities. No driving experience is needed — instructors brief you before you go on the track.
💡 Tips for Ice Karting in Levi
- Book ahead during Christmas and February half-term — the track gets busy and sessions are time-slotted
- Dress warmly — you’re outdoors and moving fast. Wind chill on an open kart at -10°C is significant
- Don’t fight the slide — the most common beginner mistake is overcorrecting. Let the kart slide and steer gently
- Great for groups — the competitive element makes it particularly fun when you’re racing friends or family
- Helmet and overalls are usually provided — check what’s included when you book
