Let us take you to the ski-track best suited to your ability

Some people consider cross-country skiing to be Estonian national sport, that’s probably the reason why there are so many ski-tracks in Estonia and some of them are flood-lit and open even until 10 pm. We can take you to the ski-tracks at Pirita or Nõmme, both located in pine-forested parks close to Tallinn and about a 30 minute drive .

Let us choose the most suitable ski-equipment for you

Our ski instructor will help you to choose the most suitable equipment (included in the price). To begin your career in skiing it’s important to know that no previous ski experience is needed and you can take your time and choose your own speed of learning.

Learn the basic technics about skiing

The ski instructor will show learners the basic technics. The distance you ski will depend on your own eagerness to learn. Maximum time spent at the ski tracks is 2 hours. The activity together with transfers takes about 3 hours.

Optional tips to enhance your experience:

pre-book a sauna after skiing and jump into an ice-hole afterwards;
order an outdoor barbecue picnic.

We had such an amazing day trip doing cross country skiing (two of us). It was a really fun and unique experience and so lovely. Our instructor, Helena, couldn’t have been better. She was great at explaining what we needed to do, let us go at our own pace, and made sure we were having a good time (safely too!) The pick up was prompt and lesson length was perfect. I can’t thank both Helena and Prangli enough for this truly special day out. We even had Santa meet us at the end and give us chocolate!

Had Cross Country Skiing trip and lesson with Keidi in Nomme park ,Tallin.
Picked up from hotel ,took us to Nomme Ski tracks.Basic introduction then had 2 hours supervised skiing.
All ski equipment sorted out and correctly fitted.
Also Keidi was a great guide to life ,food and wild swimming in Estonia.She was very cheerful and patient.
We thought it was definitely worth the cost for the 2 of us .

Cross Country Skiing Lessons
Have had three lessons in Estonia in the past year, having never skied before. The second and thrid times were also with members of my family including my 8 year old grandaughter, who really enjoyed herself.
Els-Brett and Riho our instructors were really friendly and patient. The venue and arrangements were excellent and perfect for beginners. I will be continuing to ski in future and will definitely be returning to Estonia to ski again.
