"We were delighted by Fred's availability both by email and phone. The organization of our stay corresponded well to our expectations.
The snow cover on the site we had to ski on was not as expected. However, our stay went well because Fred was able to be reactive and change our ski passes for another area. The instructor he had provided us with moved to the other area.
Jean Luc was perfect: kind, patient and good in his domains: cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
He even suggested that we change the schedule at our convenience and made us discover beautiful landscapes on snowshoes.
The meals at the inn: breakfast, picnic and evening meal were copious and changed every day".
Serge and Christine
The cross-country ski course will be supervised by a local ski instructor. He will give you the keys to improve your technique by analysing it and adding the required corrections. In private courses or among reasonable sized groups (from 4 to 8 people) and with a homogenous level, all the conditions will be gathered to turn your stay into great moments of pleasures and glidings.
Cross-country skiing is a discipline requiring, whichever your level is, a minimum of physical condition, that's why we advise you (as far as possible) to prepare yourself physically* by practicing some gymnastic exercises, walking, jogging or bycicling for a few weeks before departure (it is even better if you do it all year round...) so you can acquire stamina or reinforce it.
* we can, by demand, give you more precisions for a better training
