Description

Let's improve our cross-country skills.
The weather will be good and at 1900 m.ü.M. there should be nice snow (but please check for the updates). The small trail will allow us to be more social :-)

Schedule:

EDIT: AS THE PARKING PLACES ARE VERY LIMITED THIS WEEK WE WANT TO BE THERE AT: 08:20   Arrival at Talstation, sorting out the tickets and gear (Bus 343 starting from Sarnen at 07:44 should get you there on time)

10:00 Arrival at the small trail (Melchsee 2km): warm-up, whatever drills we want to take.

12:00 Lunch break - there is a restaurant that is normally full, but it is possible to order a warm drink or food. I suggest we have our own food, as it will be super crowded.

13:00 Depending on how we feel, we can stay on the small one or we hit the big trail (Melchsee-Frutt - Tannalp 13 km)

around 15:30 Getting ourselves together and heading back, depends on our mood and energy level.
Buses back to Sarnen from Melchtal Stöckalp (Talstation) Every full hour and :40. Last one 17:40

I am not a professional guide or skiing instructor, cross-country skiing can be risky. Everybody is responsible for him/herself and must familiarize themselves with the trail and its requirements. Please be punctual.

Good to know

What to bring:
- good mood,
- water  (there is a place to refill but the water doesn't taste too good),keep in mind that if you are heading for    13km you only have the water you are carrying with you,
- sunscreen & sunglasses!!
- preferably some own food,
 -skis, poles - possible to rent,
- layered clothing, as with every winter sport it gets hot very fast.

!! To my knowledge there is no locker close to the Loipe, so please be preperead to carry your valuables with you.

!! Please check on this site or whatsapp - (in case there are issues with trail and or weather)

We
aim at:  Melchtal Stöckalp (Talstation), as it's a big ski-resort there are parking places (which get full after 10:00)


I don't see the "Join button" - how do I join? Click on the Carpool button, and then Join a car, or Add a car. (Fill in SBB and your starting point if coming by public transport.)

Hi, is it something also for beginners? I tried cross-skiing only twice. Or can you provide some short introduction / recommendation how to do it . Thanks
