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.
