The winter in Marebbe can be enjoyed to the full in the sun, snow and fresh air on long, slim skis in the middle of a big snow cat's footprint.

The body knows exactly what is good for it.

History
As the name suggests, Nordic skiing originated in Scandinavia. In Finland, Norway and Sweden individuals had to carry food to far-flung settlements in backpacks. They had to overcome long distances in the depths of winter, alone, which would have been impossible on foot. Many would not have survived without skis.
