Choose your resort

The activity.

Choose classic cross-country skiing for a smooth, steady glide, or try the more energetic skating technique for an extra challenge. Our qualified instructors welcome everyone, from complete beginners to experienced cross-country skiers.

  • For everyone.

    No experience needed, the classic stride is learned in one session.

  • A session on the nordic area.

    Two hours with an instructor, introduction or improvement.

  • Gear for hire next door.

    Cross-country skis, boots and poles are rented at the nordic area or the Ski Shop.

The format and the length vary by resort: they are chosen at booking.

How it goes.

A small group, an instructor, and how a typical outing unfolds.

  1. The stride

    On the flat you learn to glide: the push, balance on one ski, the poles. Ten minutes and you are already moving.

  2. The loop

    A groomed track through the forest, chosen for the level. The instructor corrects the glide, you find the rhythm.

  3. The descent

    The small descents of the route, in snowplough then gliding. And the calm, all the way.

Good to know.
