Travelling to a cold country can actually feel more exotic than going somewhere warm. After all, most of the planet’s easily reachable destinations are tropical — beaches, palm trees, and flip-flops. That’s what makes visiting Estonia in winter so special. Here, the waterfalls freeze into sparkling sculptures, and quiet forests turn into fairytale scenes. The crisp air, warm lights, and cosy cafés of Tallinn’s Old Town make the cold part of the charm. But to truly enjoy this northern magic, one thing matters most: how you dress.So, what should you wear in Estonia in winter? Here’s everything you need to know before stepping into the snow. How Cold Does It Get? Estonia's winter lasts from December to March; temperatures usually range between -1°C to -15°C (30-5°F)On colder days, especially in January or February, the mercury can drop as low as -30°C (-22°F) — so layering is key! Snow, wind, and occasional freezing rain are common, so good clothing is essential for enjoying tours such as the Frozen Jägala Waterfall Picnic Tour, Sled Dog Park Visit, or a Winter Bog Walk. The Golden Rule: Layer Up Like a Local Locals don’t just wear one thick jacket — they layer!Here’s how to dress for the Estonian winter, layer by layer: Base layer: warm, breathable, and close to your skin. Merino wool or thermal underwear keeps you dry. Middle layer: something insulating, like a fleece, wool jumper, or lightweight down jacket. Outer layer: waterproof and windproof winter coat — ideally with a hood. Extras: warm hat, scarf, and touchscreen gloves (so you can still take photos of the snowy Old Town). If you’re joining an outdoor tour, avoid cotton. It traps moisture and makes you cold faster. Footwear and Socks Keep your feet dry and warm — this is the secret to surviving

Exploring Estonia should be possible for everyone. We believe that stunning landscapes, cultural highlights, and unique seasonal experiences must be within reach for all travellers, regardless of their mobility level or special requirements. That’s why we offer accessible private tours. Booking a private tour allows us to adapt the schedule, pace, stops, and experiences just for you. Whether you need step‑free access, more frequent rest stops, or an easier walking route, we’ll take that into account from the start. Nature Tours Estonia’s wild beauty can be experienced without unnecessary barriers. Popular examples include: Lahemaa National Park – boardwalks and flat trails in ancient forests and coastal areas. Jägala Waterfall and Historic Harju County tour – Estonia’s highest natural waterfall is accessible all year round. Enjoy the sound of rushing water and the surrounding forest without challenging terrain. Rummu Submerged Quarry and Coastal Cliffs Day Tour – adapted visits to limestone quarries and Soviet history sites with manageable routes. Winter Tours During the snowy season, most of our nature tours are not accessible in the same way as in summer. Deep snow and ice can make forest trails and boardwalks difficult to navigate, and safety is always our priority. For this reason, we only operate certain tours in winter, and each trip is assessed according to the current weather and ground conditions. Still, Estonia’s winter landscapes offer unique experiences that can be enjoyed without challenging terrain. Jägala waterfall Picnic – admire a frozen waterfall and enjoy a picnic with a view. Only accessible without a lot of snow. Husky Sledding – among the most accessible options in winter, since you travel comfortably by sledge.
