Had an excellent time out in the wild with our instructor, Marial (hope I’m spelling that right). She was extremely knowledgeable and funny which made the adventure more enjoyable. We were three out of a five-person group, and Marial was very patient and was able to spend one-on-one time with all of us. We all felt much more confident by the end of the course and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a no-pressure, and fun approach to skiing.

It was a great experience with our two cross-country skiing professionals. Everything was explained very well, they were very caring and incredibly dedicated, the two are very open, funny and at the same time extremely professional. I can highly recommend you all out there to book these activities with the two of you. We liked it very much, everything was great , funny and well organized, and everyone was mega nice and friendly. We felt very comfortable and learned a lot 💯

This was so fun! The guides were fantastic. Being on the ski trail was a great experience, not just for the joy of being out in nature on the snow, but seeing the diverse spectrum of locals out enjoying the trail for recreation or as their preferred mode of transport, I feel like this experience expanded my cultural perspective.
