Ski touring

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_orientation=”justified”]

You love skiing and are going to the mountains only for that ? Well, fear no more, you will have the chance to get on your skis no matter what ! Skiing existed long before the ski lifts and this peculiar stay is maybe the occasion for you to discover a new kind of ski. An ancient type of skiing that our grandparents did when they were kids.

Two types of ski are awaiting for you in the resorts : Ski touring, similar in many points to alpine skiing, the only difference is in the fact that your heels aren’t thight to the ski. You can make a back and forth movement to move forward to climb the hills.Two ties allow you to put sealskin under the ski to avoid sliding back while you climb the hill. Once at the top, put the ski into sliding mode and ski normaly, with the heel attached to the ski

Cross-country skiing

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_orientation=”justified”]

Similar to ski touring, cross country skiing have the same functions than ski touring, meaning the ability for you to climb the hill. The difference between ski touring is in the fact that cross-country skiing skis are way thiner and don’t allow you to attach the heels on the ski. On the same side, you cannot attach seaskin to the skis. The more used to this practice will choose the “skatting” skis, which don’t have small fangs underneath the skis. You just have to skate to climb the hills ! (Be careful, this is a thigh burner one !). On the other side, the “alternative” cross-country ski have small hooks on the ski sole, helping you not to slide down the hill. The alternative cross country skiing is done in the tracks drawn by the snow grooming machine on the slopes by a back and forth movement

 

So yes, now, you know the difference between cross-country skiing and ski touring. But where to go to try these ?

We are now about to dive deeper in the subject and to introduce you a bit more with the activities offered by the resorts to palliate the ski area closure ! Ready ? GO !
