Primarily within the Umeå region, but we can travel to meet your needs on site. Sometimes we arrange technique lessons and events in other locations depending on demand. During the summer, our technique lessons mainly take place on the rollerski track at Ersmarksberget in Umeå, which offers loops for both beginners (flat terrain) and more experienced skiers.
If you’d like to book technique lessons elsewhere, please contact us and we’ll find a solution that suits you. We strive to make our services as accessible as possible.

The structure of the technique lessons is adapted to your specific wishes and skills. We can go through the basics of cross-country skiing and the different gears within the chosen technique, focus on a specific sub-technique or focus on braking techniques, cornering, balance, etc. Regardless of the number of occasions, we work together to maximize your development and help you reach your goals. Here are examples of what the arrangement might look like. You can also combine both skate and classic style when purchasing several lessons.
