Cross-country skiing & family
Cross-country skiing holiday with the family
Winter fun for young and old! A family holiday in the snow can be a real challenge - especially if all age groups are to be happy. But a cross-country skiing holiday with the family can do just that: exercise together in the great outdoors, fresh winter air and unforgettable experiences in the snow.
The specialist hosts at Cross Country Ski Holidays offer the perfect solution for a successful cross-country skiing holiday with children. They know exactly what families need on a winter holiday - both on and off the trails. Whether it's child-friendly cross-country skiing, varied leisure activities or relaxing holidays for parents: Here, the well-being of the whole family takes centre stage. This makes a cross-country skiing holiday with the family a real winter highlight for young and old.
Family time is ... Time for each other
And also time for yourself. For your passions and hobbies, for active relaxation and meditative tranquillity. The mountains offer you the perfect setting for your well-earned time out - and the ideal playground for active family time.
Nordic skiing is all the rage and is also attracting more and more young people. Full-body workout, endurance training, balance training, no expensive lift tickets, enjoyment of nature away from the crowds and away from the alpine ski circus - the advantages speak for themselves.
But how do you awaken a passion for cross-country skiing in your own children? How do you get the little ones excited about classic gliding and the teenagers skating through snow-covered forests?
7 tips for unadulterated cross-country fun with kids
- A playful introduction ensures more fun! Small games of skill, sweet rewards and fun competitions increase motivation.
- Incorporate fun movement stories: Can you walk like a penguin? Squat like a frog or glide on one leg like a stork?
- Choose easy and short beginner trails for the start - with gentle hills and bends for variety. There's always something to discover on forest trails.
- Good equipment is a must - cold fingers or toes quickly spoil the fun.
- Practise braking to minimise energy-sapping, game-destroying falls.
- Children have fun with other children - enquire about children's courses!
- If you want to do a longer round, childcare is certainly a good alternative!
