Cross-country ski school - for beginners and elite

Develop your cross-country skiing

It's never too late to learn to ski cross-country or to improve your current technique. One or more lessons, privately or in groups, always make a big difference for exercisers as well as experienced Vasalopp skiers.

Improve your cross-country skiing with Almgren Coaching at Orsa Grönklitt. Whether you are trying cross-country skiing for the first time, want to improve your technique and find a better flow, or are training for a race, there are lessons tailored to your skill level.

The cross-country ski school is run in collaboration with Almgren Coaching and offers both group and private lessons in classic skiing and skate skiing.

Group Lessons

During the winter season, we offer group lessons for different skill levels and areas of focus. Each lesson lasts 90 minutes, costs SEK 995 per person, and is available to participants aged 13 and over.

Beginner

For those who are completely new to cross-country skiing or want to build a solid foundation from the start. We begin with the equipment and basic movements before heading out onto the trails. We focus on balance, weight transfer, diagonal stride, double poling, downhill technique and braking.
No previous experience required.

Intermediate

For those who already have experience with cross-country skiing and feel confident on the trails, but want to improve their technique and ski more efficiently. We focus on balance, weight transfer, timing and power transfer in the different classic skiing techniques.
You should have previous cross-country skiing experience and be able to ski independently on the trails.

Advanced

For those who already have good control of the classic skiing techniques and want to take the next step. We focus in greater detail on timing, power transfer, body position and technique across different types of terrain. This lesson is ideal for those training for recreational races or the Vasaloppet.
You should be proficient in diagonal stride and double poling and feel confident skiing on varied terrain.

Skate

Curious about skate skiing? Then this is the lesson for you. We start with the basics and focus on balance, weight transfer and the fundamental skate skiing techniques.
No previous skate skiing experience is required, but you should feel comfortable on cross-country skis.

Double poling

For those who want to improve their double poling technique, whether your goal is the Vasaloppet or simply to become a better skier. We focus on body position, timing and power transfer, and how to use your whole body to generate speed efficiently without wasting energy.
You should have previous cross-country skiing experience.

Private lesson

For those who want to focus entirely on their skiing and personal goals. During the private lesson, we tailor the content to your level – whether you want to feel more confident on your skis or are training for a race and want to fine-tune the technical details.
We identify areas for improvement and work individually on aspects such as balance, weight transfer, timing, power transfer, diagonal stride or double poling.
