Description

It always looks so easy when the pros glide along the trails. At the taster course with Prime Mountain Sports in Engelberg, you can give it a go yourself. You might not be as fast or confident as the pros at first, but you’ll have a great time and experience the thrill of gliding.

On the classic course, you’ll learn the basics in the tracks groomed into the snow. Skating is a bit like ice skating: you push off from side to side to move forwards. Not sure which style suits you? Try both on the combined course: spend 1.5 hours learning classic technique in the morning, then another 1.5 hours skating after lunch.
