Enjoy gliding through valleys and forests
Cross country skiing, or Nordic skiing as it's often called, gives a great sense of freedom and with ski tracks in a variety of terrains and locations it's a fabulous way to experience the Alps. This year we are also introducing cross country ski trips to Norway.
No matter what your age you can still learn to cross country ski, indeed, it's an activity which can be enjoyed by the whole family. Cross country skis are slender, lightweight and very easy to use.
It's also a great way to improve fitness. It can be, depending on how much effort you want to put in, a very aerobic activity which makes cross country skiing an ideal form of winter cross-training.
I just wanted to say thanks for a great holiday, we really enjoyed it. We were completely happy with all the accommodation and will certainly be visiting you again.
We have just finished a ski crossing of the Jura mountains on the French/Swiss border. If you would like to join us for the Grand Traverse of the Jura in 2011 then please get in touch for dates and details. Definitely not to be missed if you enjoy making a journey on cross country skis across a winter landscape. We travel with light rucksacks while our luggage is transported to our accommodation each day. Check out the Grand Traverse of the Jura.
