Skiing Level
The week is aimed at both experienced skiers with good fitness, and beginners who are very fit and well prepared on roller skis.
With the half distance option as well, this week is a good introduction to racing, or take on the full distance. 
If you have any doubts about the trip's suitability let us know, we can advise. If you are preparing for other ski races later in the season, this will be an ideal week of training, and will fit in well with roller ski training.

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. The program for the week will be structured to each person's needs, and what they would like to improve on.

Returning skiers will be encouraged to progress their skills further. A few days before the race there will be a trip to the race location to ski parts of the course, test skis and wax, go shopping and relax.

We are also able to have a go at biathlon in Obertilliach, and this can be arranged at any time during the week.

Each day there will be two training / instruction blocks, classic and skate and in the evenings 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 1 km away. Obertilliach has a very good snow record and has invested heavily in increasing snow making on the trails.
