Cross Country Skiing
Cross Country Skiing or Nordic Skiing can be like a peaceful stroll in the park or an extreme endurance sport. All depends on the energy and speed put into the sport.
There are two methods for cross country skiing, Skating and Traditional. Skating creates a herring bone pattern on the trails while traditional is a straight forward movement keeping the skis in grooves created by a grooming machine.Header...
The trails in Morzine and Avoriaz are free but if you don't have a ski pass, you do have to purchase a special cross country pass to take the lift to access the pistes.
There are four areas accessible from the Morzine Avoriaz resort. The Super Morzine track starts from Avoriaz and offers a great challenge over 47km. The Manche Valley of Morzine has a 25km of loops and the Pleney area has 8.5k of forest trails. Lake Montriond's beautiful 10km loop is only a short trip from Morzine.
The ski school in Morzine offers cross country excursions twice a day during the season. Meets at 9:30 am and 12:00 pm at the ESF, transport included. Equipment can be rented from one of the many sports shops.
Courses and excursions are available with the ski school and independent guides.
