The Nordic area, laid out around gentle plateaus and loops in the undergrowth, is suitable for all levels.

Weather-wise, winter offers its best conditions when the weather is cold and stable, often in the morning when the snow is firm, perfect for skating. After a snowfall, the slopes are usually groomed early, offering optimum comfort. On mild days, prefer morning outings or shaded loops; if it's windy on the plateaus, forest trails are more sheltered. Don't forget to check snow conditions and trail opening times before setting out.

Here are a few tips for a successful outing: choose well-fitting shoes and poles that fit properly, and try out the classic for a gentle start. Dress in breathable layers, gloves, a neck warmer, sunglasses and sunscreen depending on the amount of sunshine. Bring water and a snack, warm up near the Nordic stadium, follow the signs and keep to the right as you go uphill.

After the effort, enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the surrounding villages. Want to get started? Rent a cross-country ski in Les Brasses and enjoy a simple, beautiful and sporty day.
