Cross country ski-ing and ski touring
Cross country
|
Cross country skiing is a fantastic form of exercise and is also hugely entertaining! It takes place on a relatively level, prepared track and
uses special skis and shoes which are lightweight and hinge from the toe. The roots of this activity are in competitive cross country racing, but many people
find that it is perfect for keeping fit and clearing the mind of that everyday clutter. If you already ski then you have a head start, but instruction will be
required. After just a few hours of tuition you could find yourself gliding or "skating" around the snow in a tranquil valley surrounded by mountains - ah bliss! Črna has many kilometers of cross country circuit from beginner to advanced level, the nearest being a 2 minute walk from the house. |

Ski touring
This method of sking will allow you to venture out on the hills and visit places that are difficult to reach by any other method. The hills and mountains around Črna have many opportunities including several marked long distance trails. |
The equipment is similar in concept to cross country equipment
except that it is slightly more robust. The main difference is the addition of "skins". The skins are attached to the underside of the skis and allow the
user to walk up steep inclines without sliding backwards. The bindings are able to be locked down for those downhill stretches. Touring from hut to hut is particularly special and it is well worth venturing out for 1 or 2 days for the experience. |
