Develop your cross country ski-ing

How to get started

  • Book a cross country ski-ing holiday aimed at beginners which includes tuition from qualified instructors.  Specialist tour operators like Exodus & XC Uk offer these.  Alternatively book with a mainstream tour operator like Inghams who highlight cross country resorts and offer tuition packages at local ski schools.
  • Join this ski club so you can learn more about cross country ski-ing and how you can prepare for your holiday.

Want to improve your skills?

In addition to the above:

  • Learn to rollerski to improve your co-ordination and balance - LRNSC organises rollerski training courses [see our Events section] and informal practice sessions, SSE also runs skills development courses, or learn with commercial company, The Rollerski Co.
  • Improve your fitness with aerobic sports like walking, running, cycling.  Nordic walking is particularly helpful - you improve co-ordination and get an all-over workout. 
  • Go on Club ski trips that include coaching, or SSE's skills development week.
  • Give yourself a challenge - enter and train for a popular cross country ski race - read more on our ski racing page.
