Welcome to my Cross Country Ski site

	Christmas Day 2007 Kandersteg, Switzerland		15 January 2008 Katzenkopf, Seefeld, Austria.		25 February 2008 Jura, near Lamoura, France.

You can find a lot of cross country ( nordic / langlauf ) skiing sites if you search the web, and there is a lot of useful information scattered about within them.  But many of the sites that we have found are concerned with skiing in North America. This site is intended for people who want to ski in Europe.  It is more for track and trail skiers than for ski mountaineers, although any skier - including alpine skiers - may find the links useful.

We have tried to bring together in one place the links to information that we have found and used over the past few years. There are links to skiing equipment, outdoor clothing, snow conditions, weather forecasts, skiing organisations, ski clubs; also links to piste maps, holiday companies, books and videos about skiing, travel insurance - all sorts of things. I have also added a copy of my skiing packing list - this is what I take for a hotel based cross country skiing holiday, not what you need ! But it may be helpful to you as a basis for your own list. There are also some images from recent holidays.

Follow this link to see what the snow is like on the web cam for your resort.

It is worth looking on eBay for equipment and clothing - both used and new. Here are some skiing items on sale now. You can search using the box in the link at the bottom of the page.

If you want to suggest additional links please contact us (and many thanks to those who have already done so). We are happy for others to link to this site: please let us know, and we will do the same for you if you wish. It may help get you traffic to your site, as there are typically 4000 hits per month on this site; popular searches are ski weather, nordic skiing, langlauf clothing, cross country skiing in Europe, and Waymark skiing. Email alan.thorntonATphysics.org (replacing AT with @).

As some of you may know, Waymark Holidays has been integrated with Exodus, and the holidays appear in the Exodus brochure. Holidays badged as Waymark tend to have a leader for the full 6 days, and don't include a rest day. Check out Travel Horizons for good deals on holidays.

Here are some winter images: 2006-2007 Pyrenees ; 2007 Dobbiaco in Italy, Pertisau in Austria.

Walking. Many people who go cross country skiing also enjoy walking. Here are some images from Waymark walking holidays :  Provence    Sierra de las Mamblas

I have recently used Spex4Less, and they were very fast, efficient - and cheap! Highly recommended.
