Cross-country skiing

Anyone who is a real cross-country skier – and who lives the principles of fair play and fair sport – buys a national Trail Pass (for 100 Francs) at the beginning of the season. This is valid throughout Switzerland for one year. The Trail Pass (Loipenpass) can be obtained in various sport shops and from the tourist organisations. Children can, of course, use the cross-country trails free of charge.
