Description

The almost 2 km long cross-country skiing circuit is groomed for skating and classic style. The start is below the village in the direction of Pleif church.

Cross-country ski passes can be obtained from the Vella information office. Day passes can be purchased at the cross-country ski trail.

Important note

The trail is closed for grooming from 18:00. Running on a freshly groomed trail destroys it for the next day. We therefore ask you to use the trail only during the day. Thank you very much!

Hidden Gem

This trail is perfect for short training sessions in between.

Equipment

Good cross-country skiing equipment. Great importance should be attached to functional cross-country skiing clothing, suitable cross-country skiing boots, poles of the right length and cross-country skis of the right length. Sports goggles with UV protection should be worn to protect your eyes.

Cross-country skiing equipment can be hired from Menzli Sport in Vella.
