Training & Instruction
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. 
For those who wish we have the option to take part in a local ski race a little further down the valley from Obertilliach. This race is always fun, and with only a few hundred taking part and good way to experience racing for the first time. 
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
  • The morning lesson focuses on technical teaching, with emphasis on correcting faults, or working on the basics of learning to cross country ski, classic or skating. 
  • The afternoon we tend to ski out on the trails, and work on one or two key elements as we ski, this produces faster learning progress, and gives you time to understand the methods that you have learnt in the morning. 

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 ski or walk away.
