Mountain Adventure Holidays
We are proud to be the only adventure holiday company officially recognised by the British Association of Snowsport Instructors (BASI) as a Nordic Ski School. Cross-country skiing is at the heart of what we do, and we work exclusively with fully qualified professional ski instructors to ensure the highest standards of teaching and safety.
Whether you’re taking your first strides or looking to refine your technique, our cross-country skiing holidays offer expert instruction across all three Nordic skiing styles:
Classic: the traditional technique, resembling walking or running on skis.
Skate: a dynamic style echoing the motion of ice skating, perfect for building strength and rhythm.
Off-track: skiing beyond groomed trails, immersing yourself in the freedom of the winter wilderness.
With us, you’ll not only learn to ski - you’ll discover the beauty and variety of Nordic skiing in its purest form.
Cross-country skiing - also known as Nordic skiing, langlauf, ski de fond, or simply ski xc- is a unique way to explore winter landscapes. Unlike Alpine skiing, no lifts are used; instead, it’s your own rhythm and effort that carry you across snow-covered valleys, forests, and mountain trails.
On our cross-country ski holidays, you’ll be guided by first-class instructors who make learning fun and effective. Excellence in teaching is at the core of what we do - our co-founders themselves hold the highest cross-country ski qualification awarded by the International Ski Instructors Association.
