Cross country skiing
A sport that allows you to be outdoors, enjoy the benefits of nature, abandon stress and recharge.
Val di Fiemme is an important reference for cross-country skiing, it has hosted three FIS Nordic Ski World Championships, annually gives space to the Tour de Ski, Nordic combined competitions and Marcialonga (Wordloppet circuit) and will be home to the Winter Olympics Milan Cortina 2026.
Cross-country skiing is a complete sport that allows you to work on the muscles and train the heart and lungs, improving their performance.
The activity is based on advancing on the snow by coordinating the movements of skis and poles.
There are two techniques: the classical technique and the free technique. The main difference is in the steps and thrusts.
Cross-country skiing was born from the need to move on the snow in search of food.
