Would you like to discover Val Disere in a different way from the Alpine trails? Renting cross-country skis in Val Disere opens the door to snowy valleys, silent and luminous. In the Vallon de la Manchet, the tracks wind between clearings and the river, with a slight false flat on the way out and a pleasant glide on the way back. Beginners will find gentle loops to get started, while the more athletic will find open areas to work on their skating.

Thanks to the village's altitude, snow cover is generally reliable from December to April. Cold mornings offer fast snow, ideal for effortless progress; around midday, it becomes softer, reassuring for learning. After a snowfall, the slopes are usually groomed early the next day. If it's windy, opt for sheltered areas near the valley floor. Winter sun: goggles, cream and buff are your allies.
