The fascination with cross-country skiing is the steady gliding at their own pace. The movements are then performed completely automatically without thinking too have almost meditatively. During the cross-country and one finds oneself, the whole stress is reduced by the exercise. For problems about which one has previously broken the head can be found easily a solution, or you have good ideas.

But above all, it is always a wonderful experience the snowy woods and fields under a blue sky and when the snow crystals glisten in the sun to pass through. I am sure who could do these moments of happiness in a fairytale alpine landscape in Austria is looking once again for it.

Similar exclusive experience usually found only on skiing. These are not as cross-country to a secure area (avalanche!) And if one does not have the necessary knowledge and associated equipment, you should definitely contact an experienced mountain guide.

Differences between the classical technique and skating technique: 

The classic technique is particularly suitable for children, beginners and seniors. For one can in the classical technique not only cross country but also walk on the trails. On the level, or if it is used uphill use the diagonal step. With the diagonal step one overcomes steep passages and when the cross-country ski trail leads gently downhill to the double pole comes with or without a lunge to use.

In the cross-country skis the scale-ski and growing-ski is used. In the growing-ski is in the middle of the tread a path of wax applied to the cross-country slide back can not you push off. The growth is very temperature dependent and therefore time-consuming. Anyone who wants to spare before the growth of any skiing trip is thus better off with a  scale-ski.

The skating technique is the faster mode in the cross country but requires a higher level in the sense of balance and is more demanding of the coordination. Depending on conditions and terrain, a distinction between the symmetric, asymmetric and clocked technology. Also for skating has their own cross-country skis, poles and boots. If you look waxed skating, it is not so bad, because it is just a bit slower and its not like the classic style that you fall almost every few feet, when the rejection slips away with a false growing-ski waxed the skis.

Before the cross-country skiing: 

Before the cross country warm up is called for. By gently bouncing and jumping on the stand, the muscles warmed up and relaxed with light stretching exercises. This avoids the particularly sprains can occur in classical style. After the warm-up start to run slowly and only after 5-10min of normal run speed select. This ensures that the muscles are warm and the bronchi of the lungs have become accustomed to the cold air.

Health aspects:

Cross-country skiing is one of the healthiest winter sports, there are moves in a fluid motion, almost all the muscles in the body. Cross country skiing is one sport in which the joints particularly many calories are burned, the immune system is stimulated and strengthened. So who is regularly on the trail, giving the winter fat no chance.
