Themed Track
Gloria and her friends Selma and Sämi are crazy about the cold season. Therefore, hibernation is out of question for them. They prefer to spend their free time on the cross-country ski tracks in the Ursern Valley, where they have become true professionals. With the help of five simple practice boards, the animal trio shows how cross-country skiers can improve their technique and have a lot of fun.
The themed track «Auf Gloria's Spuren» is located on the two-kilometer section named «Meer» and is suitable for all small and larger cross-country enthusiasts. The entrance is marked with a large starting board next to «The Nordic House».
