Cross-country skiing is usually done in the snow, but at the Gouda Cross-Country Skiing Club, you can do it even without snow—and on the largest cross-country ski trail in the Netherlands!

It's a bit like skiing, but it's also different. You'll learn how to glide smoothly on real skis and how to move quickly with long strides. You'll also learn how to descend small hills.

 

At the fall open house, you’ll start with an hour-long cross-country skiing lesson. After that, you can take part in a cross-country skiing obstacle course. Who can complete the course the fastest? There are also exercises on the small hills so you can show off your downhill skills.
