Master the athletic, high-velocity world of skate skiing in St. Moritz. Private coaching breaks down the complex mechanics of the modern skate stride—targeting your precise edge angles, arm timing, and core stabilization to maximize your speed and endurance over flat and rolling alpine terrain.
Guest Experiences
Unlike the classic style, skate skiing demands a complete, deliberate leap of faith from one moving ski onto the other. If you hang back between the two skis, your inside edge scrapes the snow, acting as a brake. We train you to commit your hips fully over the gliding platform, turning every lateral push into pure, explosive speed.
“True speed in skating relies on patience. The longer you can balance completely flat on a single ski before the next push-off, the more distance you cover.”
Strip away upper body compensation. We drill entirely on lower body weight shifts, teaching your core and hips how to catch the balance line before adding arm dynamics.
Stop running up hills. Master the offset V1 timing, syncing your high pole plant with a dominant push foot to march up steep gradients smoothly without blowing out your heart rate.
For wide, open spaces. Learn to plant both poles seamlessly on every left and right skate stride, creating a massive, fluid sprint rhythm tailored for long lake flats.
Skate technique amplifies any underlying balance instabilities. Your coach monitors your alignment directly, spotting early knee collapse or a dropped hip in real time, and making targeted adjustments to your boot weighting so you drive power strictly in a straight, efficient line.
The wide-open, broad pathways stretching between Maloja, Sils, and Silvaplana offer the absolute best skate-skiing canvas in the Alps. We leverage these massive, flat expanses to build your high-tempo V2 habits, or head into the rolling, undulating forests around Celerina and San Gian to test your climbing gear changes.
Group clinics cannot fix specific timing mistakes like a lingering pole plant or an premature edge kick. Private structure ensures your coach is focused entirely on your rhythm, adjusting your arm drive and hip drive frame by frame so you build clean muscle memory.
When skate skiing is executed with precision, it feels like flying across the snow. Eliminating the friction of dragging edges and replacing it with a clean, unyielding weight transfer completely shifts your endurance potential. Let us optimize your technical mechanics on the world-class skating loops of St. Moritz.
