Cross Country Skiing Holidays
Cross-country skiing is not for the faint of heart – there’s no other workout quite like it, as you push and glide (and huff and puff) across miles of flat tracks in the fresh winter air, it really is a spectacular and rewarding winter activity. What's more, cross-country skiing is a low impact way to enjoy the winter playgrounds of Europe.
The high altitude and sunny plateaux of the Eastern Pyrenees and the home of the 1924 Winter Olympics, Chamonix, are just a few of the lovely places to cross country ski in France, while Northern Norway offers a combination of stunning snow plains and the opportunity to see the alluring Northern Lights and the Dolomites in Italy are a fantastic choice to improve your cross-country skating skills with professional lessons.
These are just a few of the great options for a memorable cross-country skiing holiday. Below is our selection of the best cross-country skiing holidays in Europe, all reachable by train from the UK.
