All in all there are 77 kilometres of trails for the gentler and more relaxing Classic technique, while fans of the faster and more dynamic Skating style will find 66 kilometres of trails to explore. Use of the trails is free of charge, and there are plenty of rental shops throughout the valley where all the equipment needed for cross-country skiing can be hired. Beginners and advanced skiers alike can work on their technique with an instuctor from one of the local ski schools. The villages of Längenfeld, Umhausen and Niederthai all offer floodlit skiing in the evenings.
