CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
It is a specialty of Nordic skiing, that is, disciplines in which you ski with the heel of the boot not attached. It is practiced in flat areas and with less steep declines than downhill skiing. Our rentals also offer you complete, adequate service and make your cross-country skiing holiday unique.
FREERIDE & SNOWKITE
Snowkite is a discipline that involves the use of traction kites to move freely on the snow on skis or snowboard. It cannot be practiced on traditional ski slopes and requires open and snow-covered spaces.
The Alto Sangro ski area is a privileged destination for snowkiting lovers.
