Back country skiing

This outdoor activity is ideal for those who long for freedom, skiing where no lifts exist, far from crowds and noise, treading on fresh snow. Going off the beaten track along valleys and ridges, discovering mountain huts, staying there for the night and experiencing their magic atmosphere. Enjoying the ascent with seal skins to places you dreamed of and then going downhill in Alpine skiing style, places where the only ski tracks will be yours.

Cross country skiing

It began thousands of years ago in Scandinavian countries when people used skis as a means of transport. In due course this particular way of skiing became a very popular sport and in 1924 it was officially accepted as a regular event at the Winter Olympic Games. This activity is not only suitable for competition but proves to be perfect for the whole family, because learning the first steps is very simple. The instructor begins the session in places with slight inclination and then takes you along well marked routes. Nordic skiing allows you the pleasure of not only skiing downhill but also along flat ground and uphill as well, being able to choose from the easiest to the most difficult route to suit your requirements. It is an ideal mix of sport and nature for the whole family. Contact us about different options.
