We are often contacted by experienced downhill skiers who want to try cross-country for the first time, but who are understandably reluctant to join a holiday for complete beginners. They want us to recognise that they already have a good repertoire of skiing skills - and then they want us to help them expand those skills. This course is for them.

We will start by teaching basic cross-country techniques. Then we expect not only to make a lot of technical progress, but also to cover satisfyingly long daily distances.

The course is based at Høvringen. Some instruction will take place on the hotel’s nursery piste (you will need to learn how to snowplough again!). But most of the teaching and coaching will take place out on the cross-country tracks.

Participants will need good fitness and good downhill skiing experience.

Hire of standard recreational track skis is included.
