Cross Country skiing lessons
Description
Cross-country skiing (or XC skiing) is a form of ski touring in which participants propel themselves across snow-covered terrain using skis and poles. Recreational beginners through to die-hard athletes will thrive under the expertise of one of our friendly, English speaking professionals. Explore the alpine landscape & learn to glide with style & efficiency… Nordic style!
Classic cross-country skiing is easy to learn and is similar to a gentle walking technique, allowing you to explore the glorious Giffre Valley at an intimate pace.
Skating is a modern cross country technique that involves a dynamic movement similar to rollerblading. It allows you to ski outside of the tracks on varied terrain. For those who enjoy a physical challenge, cross country skating can be a real aerobic and very physical full body sport, guaranteed to get your heart pumping and your muscles burning !
With the tuition & guidance of one of our English speaking instructors, you can stay in the groomed tracks or create your own !
Ideal for
Those who are unable – or prefer not – to do alpine skiing. X-country (or Nordic) skiing is a peaceful sport that takes place on flat snowy terrain on the valley floor. It’s a world away from the crowded, fast-paced world of alpine skiing.
Unlike alpine skiing, in Nordic skiing you’re in total control of your speed, as there’s no downhill element to deal with. You control how fast or slow you go, and can burn as much or as little energy as you like.
You can choose to go at a sedate walking pace without getting out of breath, or push yourself into a “jogging” pace to get your heart rate up. Whether you’re looking for a quiet stroll through snowy forests or a real physcial challenge (Nordic skiing is an excellent full body workout), our instructors can show you the technique to make your cross-country skiing experience entirely enjoyable.
