Nordic Skiing

Nordic skiing serves as an excellent entry point for those looking to delve into this hobby. Also called cross-country skiing, Nordic skiing involves traversing flat and hilly natural surfaces. The emphasis in this sport lies more on building stamina and enjoying the beauty of your natural surroundings. Unlike alpine skiing (or downhill skiing), which is characterized by higher speeds, Nordic skiing offers a supportive environment for mastering the art of balancing your body on skis, making it an ideal starting point for beginners.
