The Royal "Vereniging De Friesche Elf Steden”, established on the 15th of January 1909, organises the Eleven cities skating tour once a year, weather permitting. The last tour took place on the 4^th of January 1997. On this site you can find information on the tours, the association and its membership. As soon as the frost sets in, with temperatures below -10 C, this site will keep you updated on any new developments regarding the tour. The Eleven cities skating Tours can only take place in severe winters when temperatures drop to around -10C. Not only the temperatures but many more factors like the wind and/or snowfall are determining factors in the tour. Although the chances of an Eleven cities tour may seem to be slim, one thing is certain: the next tour is getting nearer every year!
