Why not try a new activity this winter and learn how to cross-country ski!

For most people, the only time they really experience cross-country skiing is by watching the Olympics. With this ski school, you can try it for yourself! Cross-country skiing is a fitness-based discipline, mainly practised on specially developed tracks.

You can choose to learn or improve in either:

  • skate skiing
  • classic skiing

Most professionals say that classic skiing is easier to learn, as the movement is similar to walking, while skate skiing is more dynamic and suited to athletic participants.

All staff speak English, ensuring clear communication and the best possible learning experience.
