We are taking last few bookings for our On Snow Nordic Week in Nordseter, Norway. The deadline to sign up to the trip is this Thursday, 13th January 2022.
The On Snow Nordic Week is scheduled to take place between Monday 21st March and Saturday 26th March in Nordseter, Norway, 14 km from Lillehammer.
The week provides an opportunity to improve your Nordic skills, while led by expert tuition in both classic and skating techniques.
The week consists of six days of small-group instruction, with an emphasis on skills development during morning and afternoon sessions.
The course participants will be divided into groups of six to eight, depending on numbers and skiing ability, with each session tailored to the group’s experience and objectives.
Morning sessions will mainly concentrate on technique, with the afternoon sessions being less formal, for example covering some distance with coaching along the way or a workshop on a particular skill.
Video analysis will be available and there will be the opportunity to be assessed for SE Nordic Proficiency Awards if desired
The group will stay at a Norwegian fjellstue near Lillehammer. Accommodation is available in economy or standard rooms, or cabins, with winter pension (dinner, B&B and packed lunch and hot flask from the breakfast buffet).
