Skating

Skating is the most recent form of cross-country skiing (1980s). To get around, you need to use the skating step. This is a movement similar to the one you make when ice skating or rollerblading. Once you’ve found your balance, the sensation of gliding and speed is incomparable! It’s a fun sport for everyone. The little ones will quickly find their balance, while the older ones will need a little more time 😉 Biathlon is practised in skating, combined with rifle shooting. The Villard/Corrençon Nordic ski school offers introductory lessons!

Cross-country skiing

Alternate cross-country skiing is the most‘classic‘ form of cross-country skiing. This technique involves skiing parallel to each other and in the rails on the sides of the pistes. The skis are equipped with an anti-backwards system that allows you to move forward in the rails. The step is similar to walking, which makes it very accessible and easy! For the more athletic skiers, simply increase the pace and the glide becomes immediately more technical and intense. Discover this sport that’s accessible to everyone on our ski area, with slope levels to suit everyone 😊
