Frequently asked quesions

Is insurance included?
No, no insurance is included in the lessons' price. We strongly recommend that you check your current insurance cover and take out Carré Neige Insurance.
Do I need a ski pass?
Unlike the 2-hour Biathlon package, the 1-hour Biathlon Discovery package does not require a cross-country ski pass.
How should I get equipped?
  • The skis used for classic cross-country skiing are long and narrow: they have no metal edges, and the central part is waxed for retention or fitted with scales for touring.
  • Skating is practised with smooth skis, without holding wax, to slide as smoothly as possible along the entire length of the ski.
What's the difference between classic and skating cross-country skiing?
  • Classic cross-country skiing: this traditional technique, known as classic, consists of skiing in 2 parallel tracks. It is also known as the alternating step technique, because you slide from one foot to the other.
  • Skating: this style is similar to skating and is more demanding than the classic as it requires a certain level of physical fitness.
