The snow fell down quite late this winter (round 6.1.2012). I enjoyed it on a short trip in Sumava mountains.

Sign-posted track at Baraque de Fraiture starting opposite the ski rental at the down-hill ski slope. Piste was not prepared, and there were stretches with virgin snow... The track first follows the highway, makes a turn...
Well prepared and sign-posted loipe at Elsenborn. There are 5, 9 and 14 km loipes here. For the 9 and 14 km, extra loops are added to the 5 km; the loipes take more or less the same route. See website for more informati...

From the Pec pod Snezkou by a four-seater chairlift up the Hnedy vrch (operates year round), through Lyzarska, Lesni, Hrncirske, Prazska, and Kolinska bouda up the Cerna hora. Then around Velke Pardubicke boudy, Krausovy...
Sunny but cold day (temperature close to M15 Celsius) spent by cross country skiing near Marianske Lazne together with Jan. Notice the perfectly maintained rut.
Sunny Sunday trek in Sumava mountains with Karel. Good snow, temp. round M5, fine day and my personal distance record on ski running :-)
Another classic crosscounty skiing trail which starts at the ski resort of Bílá. At the beginning you can either scale the ski slope via adjacent service road or use the ski lift (3 EUR pp one-way). By using the lift you...
One of the best nordic skiing routes in the area. The trail is easily accessible from Staré Hamry and the ski track is well maintained (only if there's enough natural snow of course). You can stop by at Mezivodí (Ondrášů...
Crosscountry skiing in Sumava mountains from Hojsova straz to Pancir peak and back. It was sunny day again in the mountains (in contrast to cities in the valeys with fog, cloudy and inversion weather).
There´re some excellent cross country skiing terrains across the highlands above Rýmařov. The trail has been mostly natural, even though there´re some artificial ones maintained by snowblower. There´s virtually no res...
The view at Glacier Point is one of the most magnificent I have ever seen. The 'trail' consists of walking/cross country skiing on the Glacier Point Road. This is pleasant, but nothing special. However, the view at Glaci...
First ski of season, 2h47 min moving time, approx 16 km/h skating style Stop in Oberwald if you are coming from the Zürich Area via Andermatt. Done on 30 Nov 2019 Fairly flat. Good snow conditions with a couple ...
Loipe, loipe on the wall, tell me who is the flattest of them all... Well, probably Studens sections 1, 2, 3 and 4. Studen is 48 min with the Car from Zurich and 45 min from Zug. If you are training for any long fl...
Well-prepared and signposted loipe at Samrée. This track was signposted as 15 km, but was a bit shorter. There are alternative loipes of 5, 10 and 21 km, and there is a connection to Odeigne. Generally easy with only min...
Skiing with Jitka, just training the style and endurance running the circles 850m. It started snowing and snow+rain later on but still great day for skiing - the last one before the thaw in early February. I was lucky to...
A short (13km) cross-country skiing daytrip starting at the lovely 'Fjellstue og Hytter' in Jotunheimen, Norway. I don't know what we enjoyed most, the skiing or the food... Bessheim is easy to reach in the winter (e.g....
Sunday skiing with Karel in Sumava. Wet snow with ice, temp. around 0 C, so it was more similar to skating :-) Strong wind about 100km/h on top of the hills.
A trip to the small hytte run by Finse1222 that serves fresh waffles, coffee, etc. It can be done as a circular route, but the wind direction this day meant we returned the way we came.
Part of Algonquin Provincial Park's Leaf Lake system of cross country ski trials. These are some of the best in Ontario. The Pine Tree trail visits an awesome cabin overlooking the Park. The trail to the cabin is gene...
Relating to maintained crosscountry skiing trails starting at Bílá, this one is the longest of them all. Once again I would recommend using the ski lift at the beginning to spare yourself from climbing initial 200 odd...
Luxurious cross country skiing conditions on the ridge of Malé Karpaty just above Bratislava. This happens only one or two times a season.
After unsuccessfull skiing previous day (failed to unlock/lock ski bindings - my fault), i returned to the same place Kladská. Almost 12 km classical Cross Country Skiing. Perfect, mostly sunny day, -4deg. As it was my f...
This is a very scenic/pretty track. Well worth the trip, and not far from Luzern. The panorama Loipe is 12km only (I did a bit extra in loops in the plateau as I did not feel like doing down and up again). On a yea...
