Top Cross-Country Skiing tracks
There is a revival of the classic technique by followers of Nordic skiing, but the skate stride is most practiced among tourists and weekend skiers
Trentino is the heartland of cross-country skiing. Our valleys, especially Valle di Fiemme and Val di Fassa, are ideal settings for this sport. Many prominent sporting events took place right here in these valleys, 3 World Championships, multiple World Cups and the famous Tour de Ski with its spectacular closing race the Final Climb.
In Trentino cross-country skiing is an integrated part of SuperNordicSkipass which lets you ski across 10 different cross-country centres on one card, all offering groomed tracks for both the classic and skate techniques, quality facilities such as changing rooms, ski schools, restaurants and ski tuning service. The participating centres offer cutting-edge equipment for programmed snow-making and guarantee a high standard of daily maintenance to the slopes.
These are the top trails you must try for their uniqueness and beauty of their tracks!
