Colorado Adventure Guides offers Nordic Skiing Tours out of our Summit County, CO Basecamp. There’s no better cardio workout and sight-seeing tour than Nordic skiing along a vast network of trails in Colorado’s White River National Forest.
Nordic skiing, also known as cross-country skiing, is a great way to get outside and experience the beauty of Colorado in its winter form. We offer half-day excursions that last around 3-5 hours with access points conveniently located near Dillon, Frisco, Breckenridge, and Keystone.
Our guides will choose a location that best suits your group and also as close as possible to where you are staying in the county to reduce driving time and increase adventure time.
