Try Nordic walking and roller skiing

The Gouda Cross-Country Skiing Club offers a variety of Nordic sports: in addition to cross-country skiing, we also offer roller skiing and Nordic walking. Both originally began as summer training for cross-country skiing, but are now practiced as standalone sports. This, too, is the Gouda Cross-Country Skiing Club!

Nordic walking is a very active form of walking. Want to take it up a notch? Then try our Nordic sports training! It’s a bit like a “boot camp.” Or join a running group—there’s something for everyone!

Or get a head start on the coming winter and learn to roller ski now, so you can hit our cross-country ski trail right away this fall.

We offer short roller ski and Nordic walking courses for beginners. We also hold weekly training sessions starting from De Skihut in Groenhovenpark, and regularly organize tours around Gouda. 

You’re warmly invited to join the Gouda Cross-Country Skiing Club on Sunday, March 29. You can take a 45-minute introductory lesson in roller skiing, Nordic walking, Nordic sports, or running, and you’ll receive information about our range of courses and training sessions. The lesson is intended as an introduction, to give you a taste of whether this is something for you. And if you’d like to do more, you can sign up for a beginner’s course afterward.
