Training & Instruction This is a great week for those who wish to learn how to cross-country ski for the first time or for those who are looking at refining their technique, or wishing to transfer from roller skiing to snow for the first time. This course is also well suited for children as well who have done some roller skiing before, please send an email if you need more information about what we are able to offer for a family week. The week will start with the fundamentals of classic and skating. Each day the lessons will be broken down into small and simple steps which produce a greater level of progress in classic and skating. The program for the week will be structured to each person's needs, and what they would like to improve on. Each day there will be two training / instruction blocks, classic and skate
We tend to work on two days of classic or skating, then switch to which ever you wish to work on for the remainder of the week. In the evenings we have waxing talks, ski selection information and videos on training methods. Skiers are not expected to attend all sessions, and are free to explore the trails. With Obertilliach so well situated, we can ski from the village each day, and make regular trips to the biathlon and cross country ski center which is only a short 1.0 km run away. Obertilliach has a very good snow record and has invested heavily this year in increasing snow making on the trails. |
