Nordic Touring 'Off Track' Holidays

Nordic 'off-track' skiing is simply cross-country skiing away from marked and pressed trails. Our hut-to-hut 'off-track' tours in Norway offer a wonderful experience of challenge and adventure. Journey through an arctic wilderness carved out by glaciers, ski across frozen lakes and wide open spaces where the reindeer roam. We are the only adventure holiday company to be recognised by the British Association of Snowsport Instructors as a Nordic Ski School.

Skiing off-track uses many of the techniques of 'classic' style track touring, but with an emphasis on travelling, turning and controlling speed in a variety of snow types. The skis are wider, the boots chunkier, sturdier and warmer. You will use 'waxing' skis, and climbing skins and receive tips on how to manage kit, food and clothing in a Nordic mountain environment. 

When joining a hut-to-hut tour you will carry everything for the week in your rucksack giving you complete autonomy. In our view it is great to un-clutter and realise you can survive with all your needs on your back.
