The Cross-Country Area

The 12-kilometer (7-mile) loop around the Hale Hut Warming Cabin is especially recommended, offering some wonderful views from the mountains.
Only 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the resort, interested guests will find Lake Windermere Whiteway, the world's longest ice skating loop. A Nordic loop with a length of 15 kilometers (9 miles) is located right beside the lake. The region can be reached from the resort with a free shuttle bus.
