Good to know - practical information

◾ Participants must be in good physical health, no prior cross-country skiing experience is required
◾ We aim to ski on natural snow, but if conditions so require we will make use of forest tracks prepared by snow cannons (entrance fee included in the price). If according to our judgment, an ice skating trip will give our guests a better experience due to conditions, we reserve the right to carry out a cross-country skating trip instead
