Children's classic cross-country skis

Children's classic cross-country skiing : Equipment and tips for getting started

Classic cross-country skiing is a fun and accessible discipline, perfect for children who want to discover the joys of sliding while developing their balance and coordination. For a safe and enjoyable experience, it's essential to choose the right equipment for their age and ability.

Choosing classic cross-country skis for children

The choice of classic cross-country skis for children depends on their height, weight and level of ability. These skis are generally shorter and lighter than adult models, making them easier to hold and learn. Depending on your needs, you can opt for flake skis, ideal for beginners without wax, or skin skis, offering better grip and glide over the snow.

Cross-country ski poles: essential support

Poles help children maintain their balance and progress efficiently. For classic cross-country skiing, they should reach about armpit level. Choose lightweight, durable aluminum or composite models for comfort and ease of use.

Classic cross-country ski boots: comfort and support

Boot comfort is essential if children are to have fun on the slopes. Children's classic cross-country ski boots are designed to be flexible and easy to put on, while offering good foot support. Make sure you choose a pair that is adapted to your child's morphology and compatible with his or her bindings.

Bindings: safety and simplicity

Bindings for children's classic cross-country skiing must be easy to use and perfectly compatible with their boots. The most common systems, such as NNN (New Nordic Norm) or SNS (Salomon Nordic System), ensure a good fit and make learning easier for the youngest skiers.

Why introduce your child to classic cross-country skiing?

Classic cross-country skiing is an excellent activity for children, enabling them to have fun while developing endurance and coordination. It's gentle on the joints, improves balance and strengthens muscles throughout the body. What's more, it's a great way to enjoy nature with your family.
