Cross-country ski rental in Les Karellis is the promise of a quiet Nordic break, between larch forests and wide clearings on a balcony overlooking the Maurienne. You'll glide along gentle slopes accessible to all, against a backdrop of emblematic peaks like the Aiguilles d'Arves. The village's family atmosphere adds to the pleasure of a simple, authentic outing.

Weather-wise, mornings are often cold and bright in winter: perfect for enjoying fresh grooming and firmer snow, ideal for skating. In the afternoons, the snow becomes softer, reassuring for starting out on alternates. After a snowfall, the undergrowth becomes magical and sheltered from the wind. Depending on the winter, the best period is from December to March; check your local weather forecast and the opening of Nordic trails to choose the right time.
