Cross-Country Skiing

On cross-country skis you stay in touch with nature, keep fit, have fun and enjoy the silence.
Cross-country skiing is a friendly and sociable way of escaping and getting back to nature. Cross-country enthusiasts get away from the crowds and get a great feeling of freedom. There are two different techniques: skating, which feels similar to rollerblading or ice skating, and the classic stride-and-glide technique.

Snowshoeing

On snowshoes you have an unspoilt experience away from the marked pistes in countryside that is still wild.
The arrival of snowshoes has coincided with the recent popularity of freeriding. Snowshoeing can be done either on or off marked trails, but it generally takes place in powder snow and among fabulous scenery. This discipline is accessible to anyone but you do need to be reasonably fit and it is better not to start with climbs that are too difficult and you should go out with a guide to start with.

Telemark

If you feel nostalgic for this stylish method or are attracted by its the elegant look, try telemark.
Telemark is one of the oldest skiing techniques around. The skiing style is a kind of dancing movement in which the skier's heels are free and one knee is bent on each turn as the skier descends. At the moment telemark is enjoying something of a boom, so if you see a graceful, elegant skier on the pistes, you can be sure it is a telemarker!
