We are a non-profit figure skating club in Västerås,
offering training for children, teenagers and adults.
Whether you are taking your first steps on the ice
or looking to develop your skills, we are happy to help
you find a suitable group.
Our training combines enjoyment, friendship and development,
both on and off the ice. You can skate for fun, fitness
and personal progress, or work towards competing.
