    Cross-country skiing
    Beginner
    For those who have never tried cross-country skiing but are keen to give it a go. You do, however, regularly engage in an endurance sport.
    Intermediate
    For those who have cross-country skied before and have mastered various movements and the gliding stride on flat terrain. You are able to ski straight down a gentle slope, perform a snowplow on a gentle slope, and come to a natural stop. You regularly practice an endurance sport.
    Confirmed
    For those capable of performing skating strides without poles on slippery terrain or ascending a slope using a gliding stride. You engage in an endurance sport several times a week.
    Advanced
    For those who skate-ski on flat terrain using arm action: you glide by transferring your body weight from one ski to the other, accompanied by an alternating arm push. You maintain your balance while gliding at higher speeds—both on slopes and when traversing—and link turns that finish with parallel skis or by stepping the turn toward the fall line. You engage in an endurance sport several times a week.
    Expert
    For those who have mastered cross-country skiing techniques: the two-step and combined skate strides, and the diagonal stride on flat terrain. You are proficient in skiing a direct line on advanced terrain and linking parallel turns at high speed while accounting for external conditions. You engage in an endurance sport several times a week.

The Hotel l'Echaillon welcomes you for your half-board or full-board stays in Névache, in the Clarée Valley.

Nestled amidst terraces, forests, and valleys with accessible peaks, bordering the rushing Roubion stream, the hotel's location allows you to set off on your activities without a car. Just steps away, the Clarée, our river with its clear, pristine waters, invites you to peaceful, contemplative relaxation. And when the season is in full swing, the shuttle bus serving the upper valley is a 3-minute walk away.

In winter, we are very close to the start of the cross-country ski trails and the instructors' chalet. Snowshoeing groups can put on their equipment in the garden!
