Floridians in search of a sleeker way to indulge in the thrill of Porsche driving are discovering it amidst the winter wonderland.

Brace yourself for the 2025 Porsche Ice Experience in Levi, Finland — a spectacle that marries precision engineering with the brute challenge of winter’s most unforgiving landscapes. Against a backdrop of arctic desolation, participants find themselves sliding through treacherous ice tracks in the likes of the 911 GT3, 911. Dakar, and Taycan GTS. This isn’t some idle pleasure cruise; it’s a structured test in mastery, dissected into four stages — DISCOVER, LEARN, BOOST, and RACE — each more demanding than the last, yet dressed in the sleek aesthetics only Porsche can offer.
For 2025, the program has recruited Hermann Tilke, the architectural savant behind modern Formula 1 circuits, to expand and elevate these tracks, adding new layers of challenge across Finland’s breathtaking but punishing wilderness. If exclusivity is your persuasion, the Ice Force Intense and Ice One2One sessions provide customized training that’s as exacting as it is singular.
And should one crave a departure from the slick seats of a Porsche, the new Arctic programs lend the experience an added dimension. Picture a husky tour across frigid lakes or a snowmobile roaring through silent, snow-laden pines —all courtesy of the Porsche Arctic Center. In sum, the experience is a study in extremes, with the Arctic’s frigid majesty juxtaposed against the pulse of highspeed engineering, a pilgrimage for those who appreciate not just the destination but the grit of the journey itself. experience.porsche.com
