IceKart Rucphen-Breda

In Rucphen, near Breda, IceKart offers an experience rare in Europe: karting on a genuine permanent ice track, set up inside the covered SnowWorld ski complex. You drive karts on a closed icy surface, where grip has to be earned and the challenge is to master the slide to set the best lap time. It is a sensation apart, very different from karting on tarmac.

The site presents itself as the only permanent ice kart track in Europe, which makes it a curiosity for driving fans. Several formats are offered, from a one-hour session to much longer ones for groups, with a race suit and helmet provided. Open much of the week, the place suits both the curious and drivers after an unusual challenge.

Rucphen is a municipality in North Brabant, a short way from Breda and the Belgian border. The SnowWorld complex, known for its covered ski slopes, adds ice karting to its line-up, which lets you combine several indoor winter activities. It is an original destination in the southern Netherlands, to discover whatever the season. Few places let you try ice driving all year, under cover and without depending on winter. Combined with SnowWorld's covered ski slopes, IceKart lets you enjoy a winter interlude in midsummer, which makes it an original outing for groups and families from the Breda area alike.
