About this week Using Obertilliach as the base for this week, we will be able to have a snowsure week's skiing and instruction leading up to the Gsiesertal marathon weekend. A very popular week for Totally Nordic, with one of the most enjoyable and fun marathon race weekends on the calendar. * Note We will not be able to provide transport to the races, this will be down to each individual person to arrange, via local transport or taxi. We will be able to help with transport options for these events. This week is open to all levels of skiers, and is a good week for those who would like to take part in a marathon race for the first time, with the option for a short race in both classic and skating. 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 whichever 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 km run away. Obertilliach has a very good snow record and has invested heavily this year in increasing snow-making on the trails. Ski Hire The local ski hire can offer top equipment for hire, and a great range of boots and skis for sale. Sport Auer 2023 - 2024 Equipment Hire Prices |
