Telemark skiing – traditional style with a modern twist
If you’re looking for an unusual skiing experience, try telemark skiing. This elegant style, rooted in Norway, combines elements of alpine and cross-country skiing and requires a technique that allows for free movement and smoothness. Each turn involves the characteristic “telemark lunge”, adding grace and rhythm to every descent.
In Malá Úpa, you have the chance not only to try telemark but also to learn it under the guidance of an experienced instructor. Whether you are a beginner or have prior skiing experience, the instructor will help you master the basics, the correct posture, and improve coordination – all essential for this style.
Equipment and rental
If you don’t have your own telemark equipment, don’t worry – the resort offers rental of skis and boots specially designed for Telemark. The bindings attach the toe of the boot to the ski while leaving the heel free, which gives the whole style its unique feel.
Why try telemark?
Telemark skiing offers a different dimension and a deeper connection with the mountains. It brings not only a sporting challenge but also a way to truly appreciate the beauty of the surrounding peaks – with smoother movements and a greater focus on body balance and rhythm. Whether it’s your first time or you already have this style in your blood, telemarking in the snowy Krkonoše Mountains is an experience you’ll remember for a long time.
