Frequently 
Asked Questions

Is insurance included in the lesson price?
  • The lesson price included public liability insurance, which covers any damage caused to a third party during lessons.
  • Please note: This does not cover your own costs in the event of an accident, such as rescue services, medical expenses, equipment or unused life passes.
  • We therefore recommend checking your existing personal cover or taking out suitable insurance.
Find out more on our dedicated page:"Insurance".
What's the difference between classic and skating?
Cross-country skiing can be practised using two different techniques:
  • Classic Technique: Ski along parallel tracks set in the snow, using a natural, walking-like motion with alternating strides. Easy to learn and accessible to all, it's ideal for children and beginners.
  • Skating: Ski on a groomed trail without tracks, using a skating motion with the skis in a "V" shape. More dynamic and physically demanding, it requires greater balance, coordination and control, making it better suited to more experienced or sporty skiers.
What equipment do I need for biathlon?
  • Cross-country skiing equipment is not provided. We recommend hiring the appropriate equipment, either classic or skating, depending on the discipline you choose.
  • Rifles (laser or .22 LR), however, are provided.
Where can I hire cross-country skiing equipment?
You can hire cross-country skiing equipment from most sports shops in Chamonix.
