Covid-19 and Nordic Skiing

Unfortunately in these difficult times, account has to be taken of the virus.  Happily, Nordic skiing avoids most of the issues.

All courses take place outdoors, in an open and natural environment, perfect for maintaining social distancing.  The distance between participants will be increased to 5 m in case of intense training involving heavy breathing.  Unlike downhill skiing, there are no ski lifts and therefore no queues or crowds.

If you book a lesson, either individually or in your own group, you will not share the lesson with anyone else.

• You must wear a mask.

• All equipment will be disinfected by the shop staff.

• Alcoholic gel will be available.

• You must wear a mask whilst waiting at the bus stop and on the bus.

• You, and I, must wear a mask at the beginning and end of each lesson.  Children up to and including 10 years old are exempt from mask wearing.

• Inside buildings, such as the Acceuil Nordique at Joux Plane, mask wearing is mandatory for all over the age of 10 years.  Alcoholic gel will be available, and surfaces will be regularly disinfected.

A good graphical guide to the protocol is available on the France Montagne website.  It is only available in French.
