Classic technique
For beginners in cross-country skiing, we recommend taking part in private lessons of classic (alternating) technique to learn how to take the first steps on flat terrain, to tackle climbs and descents and to be confident in avoiding obstacles and braking.
Skating
The private skating lesson is aimed at those who want to move from classic technique to freestyle, that is faster and – you might say - more modern. With a series of exercises in a short time and with a minimum of effort, we will teach you the various steps in the plan, in the ascents and descents.
