Who is Cross Country Skiing For?

Cross-country skiing is perfect for anyone who enjoys staying active and loves spending time outdoors in crisp, fresh air. It’s quick to learn, making it accessible for beginners, and you don’t need to be a high-performing athlete to enjoy it.

It’s ideal for those who maintain a moderately active lifestyle and are looking for a fun, low-impact way to explore stunning winter landscapes while staying in motion.

Whether you’re new to skiing or simply want to try something different, cross-country skiing offers the perfect blend of physical activity and outdoor adventure.

  • Fantastic XC skiing tour in Sweden

    I had the most amazing cross country skiing trip with Gutsy Girls in Sweden! What a fantastic week in the most wonderful winter wonderland with the group of like-minded ladies and our great host, Mandy. The trip was very well organised - from the detailed packing list and outline of activities to thorough logistics on each day.

    I loved the stunning ski trails and fascinating views, tried snowshoeing for the first time - super fun! Sauna and ice-dipping (though I didn’t dare the latter!) was quite a nice addition to evening routine, after an intense day of skiing. The food in the hotel was lovely, Nordic cuisine is amazing. So much looking forward to another trip with GG!

  • Cross country ski in Norway - outstanding trip!

    Had a wonderful time cross country skiing in Norway. The trip couldn’t have been better - had a great group of women; a great host; and a fantastic ski instructor- Ursula. The hotel was really special - amazing food, amazing views and family run - a truly unforgettable experience. I was a brand-new beginner at cross country skiing, but felt Like I was being looked after and by the end of it was really picking it up. I will definitely be coming back on another trip!

  • Norway Cross Country Skiing

    This was my first solo trip as well as a first go at any winter sports and it was nothing short of amazing! Emma was an exceptional host, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we met. Her understanding of each individual's ability and skill level ensured that I felt included and comfortable throughout the trip.

    Laughter was a constant on this journey, thanks to Emma and the wonderful group of like-minded people Gutsy Girls managed to pull together. It truly felt like being on holiday with friends. I will definitely be booking another one next year.

    I really want to give a massive shout to the guide, Ines, who was amazing and a great teacher. Also a shout out to Bea who made me comfortable and guided me through the entire booking process (she gave me tons of useful information!)

  • My second trip with Gutsy Girls

    My second trip with Gutsy Girls, this time to learn cross-country skiing in Norway. It was such an amazing trip - beautiful landscapes, lovely people, brilliant instructor and host, perfect location, straightforward travel. Cross country skiing was quite easy to pick up and the group were really supportive and friendly. The hotel was perfect - remote enough to feel a bit adventurous and comfortable enough to feel cosy and relaxed. It was especially great to have a female instructor on this trip, which I know isn’t always possible. I hope to be back 😊
