Nordic skiing

Away from the hustle and bustle of the ski lifts, take the time to breathe and enjoy Nordic skiing in total freedom. Skating or alternating, the cross-country trails of the 7 Laux Nordic ski areas let you practice all the techniques of Nordic skiing.

Depending on the itinerary you choose, you’ll have the chance to overlook the Haut Breda or Grésivaudan valleys.
