Do you also drive groups from the west or south of the country to Thialf?

Yes, we drive groups from all over the Netherlands to Heerenveen. On a long journey, we plan the times within the driver's rest times.

Is a double-decker suitable for a fan club?

Certainly. With 90 seats, a toilet and an onboard kitchen, a large fan club travels together in one vehicle.

Can the coach stay with the group for several days?

Yes, for a multi-day championship. We agree in advance which journeys there are and how the driver's rest times fit in.

Can you book a hotel nearby?

Yes, we help with a hotel and, where possible, tickets. Please bear in mind that an administration fee may apply for this service.

What if the event overruns?

We build in time for overruns. If the programme runs much later, we consult the group leader.

Coach travel to Thialf.

A supporters' group following an entire championship, a skating club from the west of the country or a company outing around a World Cup event: on a coach your party travels to Heerenveen in comfort. ITS-Reizen runs coaches and double-deckers, also for groups from well beyond Friesland.

To the ice in Heerenveen in comfort

Not every group lives just around the corner from Thialf. Skating clubs and supporters come from all over the country, and then a coach with roomy seats and a dedicated driver is a good choice. The drive becomes part of the outing, and after an evening full of excitement everyone can unwind on the way home.

We run coaches with 55, 63 and 66 seats and double-deckers for 90 people.

Supporters' groups and fan clubs

Around a national or world championship, fan clubs often travel to Heerenveen in large numbers. A coach keeps the group together: singing together on the way there, sitting together in the stands and heading home together. If a large club is coming along, a double-decker is handy, with 90 seats, a toilet and an onboard kitchen. For even more supporters, several coaches run, leaving at the same time and using the same meeting point. That keeps departure calm.

A championship lasting several days

A world or European championship often lasts several days. If your group wants to see every distance, an overnight stay near Heerenveen makes sense. We take the group to the hotel or the stadium on the first day and pick everyone up again at the end. In between, the coach can take the group from the hotel to Thialf and back, if you wish. ITS-Reizen can help book the hotel and, where possible, entrance tickets; an administration fee may apply.

Home safely after a late race

Evening races sometimes finish late, and for a group from the south or west of the country a long drive then follows. We plan such a trip within the driver's driving and rest times. If the day does not fit within one driver's working hours, a second driver comes along to take over the wheel. That way the coach can leave straight after the event and the group gets home safely. Even on a long day, this keeps the planning clear.

Skating clubs on a training camp

A coach is also handy for clubs that want to train on the long track themselves. The whole squad travels together, with skates, bags and equipment in the luggage hold. If the club is going away for a few days, we discuss whether the coach stays on location or comes back on the last day. The luggage hold is spacious, but if the group is bringing a lot of luggage or unusual items, such as extra equipment for the coaching staff, please let us know in advance. That way the trainer can concentrate on the sport.

Boarding in several places

A supporters' group or club rarely comes from one address. The coach can stop at several places along the way to pick people up. We draw up a route with times, so everyone knows where and when to board. On the way back we call at the same places in reverse order. Tell us in your request which places you would like us to call at, and we will work out the route and the times for you. This works well for fan clubs with members in different provinces, who can board without a detour.
