The cross-country ski trail in the lower part of the village offers perfect conditions for classic cross-country skiing as well as skating and is carefully groomed for this purpose. The best place to start is directly after the bridge at the "Briggu" or "Noyer" bus stops. The sunny loop in the upper section is flat, easy to ski, and perfect for beginners as well as amateur cross-country skiers. Those looking for more of a challenge can head downhill along the Dala-River and glide through an idyllic forest to the bridge. After crossing the stream, the trail leads through several loops and climbs back to the starting point via gentle, undulating ascents. This is an ideal place to get some exercise and admire the wintry landscape, while enjoying varied sections and an impressive natural backdrop.
Turn-by-turn directions
The village cross-country ski trail starts at the "Zer Briggu" bus stop and leads southwards through sunny sections. The flat loop in the upper section is ideal for beginners, while a more challenging section runs through an idyllic forest along the Dala river. The return is via gentle ascents back to the starting point.

Author's recommendation
While getting to the start by bus is possible (it is a 30-minute ride), it is probably quicker on foot. From the sports arena, the Stafelinweg leads along the Dala to the starting point at Briggu.
The thermal baths nearby offer relaxation and recreation.
