Alpine Cross Country Skiing

This popular sport is undertaken by all age groups and is considered by many a great form of exercise. People in their day to day lives ski into the towns to go shopping, visit friends. You will see people walking with ski poles as well, this allows movement in the upper body to keep your joints supple. The landscapes are so vast that this form of transport is widely used.

There is a winter sports shop in Älvsbyn that sells all this equipment. If you ask the owner you may be able to hire equipment as well.
