Nordic Skating Skiing: a dynamic and complete practice

Nordic skating skiing, also called “skater’s stride,” is a physically demanding and fun activity that engages the entire body. Popularized in the 1980s, it requires specific equipment to glide effectively on groomed trails.

Determine your level to choose your equipment

Skating resembles rollerblading or ice skating. It requires a minimum technique to optimize the glide and find your rhythm. Beginners will progress faster by choosing:

• A flat or slightly downhill terrain

• Previous practice in rollerblading, alpine skiing, or classic cross-country skiing

   

Assess your physical condition

Nordic skating skiing is a full sport combining endurance and muscle strengthening. It requires:

• Good balance to maintain the glide

• Endurance adapted to sustain effort

• Regular muscle toning work (abs, core)

Choose your ski according to your size

Skating skis are shorter than classic ones. The ideal size usually corresponds to your height + 15 cm. Some tips:

• A longer ski offers better glide but is less maneuverable

• For beginners, prefer a slightly shorter ski for better stability

Classic Nordic Skiing: a glide accessible to all

Classic nordic skiing or “alternative stride” resembles walking or snowshoeing. It is ideal for discovering the glide while enjoying snowy landscapes.

Adapt your practice to your level

Accessible and adjustable in intensity, classic style allows:

• A fitness approach to strengthen physical condition

• A peaceful walk to enjoy nature

• A quick learning thanks to a technique close to walking

As in skating, prefer flat terrain to start.

Choose between waxable skis and grip skis

In classic nordic skiing, two options exist:

• Grip skis: perfect for beginners, they offer good grip without special maintenance. Discover the R-SKIN Rossignol range.

• Waxable skis: designed for experienced practitioners seeking performance and optimal glide.

Your choice will depend on your level and goals on the trails.

Adapt your equipment to your size

The length of your skis varies depending on their category:

• For ""Race, Performance & Touring"" skis (X-ium, Delta ranges), count +20 cm compared to your height.

• For ""Outdoor Fitness & Evo"" skis (EVO range), add only +15 cm, as they are designed for a more playful and accessible practice.

If you hesitate between two sizes, a slightly shorter ski will offer you better maneuverability, especially for beginners.
