Cross-country skiing
University Sports offers courses in skating and classic techniques for beginners and experienced cross-country skiers.
At weekends, we organise cross-country skiing courses lasting several days in Goms. During the cross-country skiing week and the snow sports camp taking place at the same time, you also have the opportunity to explore not only the trails in Goms but also the slopes in the Aletsch Arena.
Competitions
In addition to courses, University Sports also offers the opportunity to take part in competitions. If you're interested in entering the Engadin Skimarathon, it is possible to book overnight accommodation including on-site support and advice – including ski preparation – in cooperation with other Swiss university sports organisations.
Besides the supervised activities offered by University Sports, the Swiss Academic Ski Club also runs exciting events for advanced skiers.
