Nordic Group Lessons
What is the difference between "classic" and "skating"?
Classic cross-country skiing is done by following parallel tracks, allowing for a more stable and steady glide: perfect for beginners.
Skating, on the other hand, involves a skating motion similar to rollerblading or ice skating, requiring better balance and a more dynamic technique. Skating is generally faster and more demanding, while classic skiing offers a calmer, more controlled approach. That’s why having some experience with classic skiing can help reduce apprehension.

You will need a ski pass to access the Nordic area for this lesson (if you have the "Espace Diamant" Alpine ski pass, access to the Nordic area is included).
