Cross country ski lessons near Geneva

Dec 5, 2019 @ 09:42

I'm keen to try cross country skiing this season and am looking for recommendations for lessons near Geneva as well as where to rent equipment. I have never tried it but am a decent alpine skier.

I suggest La Vattay, just after Col de la Faucille. You can rent skis and get lessons. There's also a ski bus to get there.

The ski school is on https://www.ecole-de-ski-nordique-de-la-vattay.com/

Hi Melanie

I'm also a good alpine skier and thinking about trying cross country and skating...

Is feasible on the Saleve?

It is very seldom that there's enough snow on the Salève for skiing. And I don't think there's any organised tracks there.

I never went skiing on the Salève, even when I was living directly beneath it.

Hi,

I did it last year in La Givrine (above Saint-Cergue), the instructor was very nice, you can call Saint-Cergue tourism office and they can give you more information.

Kathy is great and will include equipment rental and snacks in the lessons. She runs courses nearby.
