Cross-country skiing expertise
Having gained more than ten years' experience working in the Biathlon World Cup, I now share my passion for cross-country skiing as an instructor. I teach technique and equipment, and I show people of all levels how to enjoy gliding.
Cross-country skiing expertise
My name is Johannes, and I am an enthusiastic cross-country skier with many years of competitive sporting experience. Prior to becoming a cross-country skiing instructor, I spent over 10 years working for the Fischer Biathlon World Cup service team. During this time, I gained valuable insights into equipment tuning, technique optimisation, and providing support at the highest level of competition.
This experience has had a decisive influence on my understanding of running technique, ski bases, waxing strategies and equipment adjustments — knowledge that I am now delighted to share with my students.
As a certified instructor, I prioritise individual support, teaching proper technique, and encouraging enjoyment of exercise in the snow, whether you are a beginner or an ambitious athlete.
I look forward to sharing my passion for Nordic skiing and helping others to improve their technique and their understanding of equipment and snow conditions.
Focus areas:
- Classic and skating
- Technique training and video analysis
- Equipment and waxing advice
- Training planning and performance development
