We’ve chosen cross country skiing as Gutsy Girls’ winter sport of choice and are excited to get more women into cross country skiing this winter. One of the oldest forms of skiing, cross country skiing is done on flatter ground with rolling terrain*, and it allows you to get into incredible remote locations away from the crowds of the ski resorts.

With a much faster learning curve than downhill skiing, over the course of a weekend you’ll progress quickly and discover a new winter sport that allows you to access beautiful wild locations.

*There are downhill sections too!

Our cross country ski adventures include ski and boot hire, expert tuition and guiding from experienced instructors. It’s a great full body workout, and we’ll be active throughout the day exploring stunning wilderness locations away other tourists.

We’ve created itineraries that will build your cross country skills and help you get the most out of your holiday with us!

To compliment our long active days, we’ll unwind on 5 evenings with yoga classes lead by our brilliant in house instructor.

We’ll also have the opportunity to unwind in the sauna post ski!

We are thrilled to offer an husky sledding activity on this adventure. We’ll be heading to a local kennel to meet the dogs, before heading out to drive your own dog team through the wilderness.

Each guest will have the opportunity to drive and be a passenger on this hour tour!

(Please note that later in the season, i.e April, there may not be enough snow for the dog sledding; if so, it will be replaced by another activity, or more skiing).

For one day during the adventure, we’ll be getting away from the ski tracks to explore deep into snow covered forest on snowshoes. Winding through the snow-covered trees, we’ll delve deep into the nordic wilderness, creating our own tracks in the crisp snow. If the conditions are right, we’ll visit the spectacular frozen waterfall Myfallet.
