Cross-Country Stadium "Nordic Zentrum"
The sustainable, year-round sports facility offers attractive experiences for the whole family and more. The modern sports complex and training centre blends harmoniously into the Ried landscape and is the latest meeting point for Nordic skiers.
Nordic Zentrum
The crescent-shaped main building with a cross-country trail on its semi-circular flat roof forms the heart of the complex and provides spectacular views across the Stillachtal Valley and towards the Trettachtal Valley all year round. Whether beginners or Olympic champions, this is Oberstdorf’s number one spot for anyone involved in the world of Nordic skiing. The central hub is the new Nordic Info, a multifunctional tourist room with information about the services available in the Nordic Zentrum. Our advisors will inform you about the activity and nature programme, the services from the mountain and Alpine schools, activities in the surrounding area as well as learning opportunities and hands-on fun.
Nordic Café
The Nordic Café offers both relaxation and inspiration in a sporty atmosphere. A small selection of hot and cold drinks, confectionery, ice cream and popular sports bars help top up your energy reserves. Relive the emotion of the FIS Nordic Ski World Championships 2021 Oberstdorf / Allgäu through pictures in the Nordic Lounge. See fascinating images of Oberstdorf’s successful skiers.

Cross-country skiing
A winter sport for the body and mind, young and old
Whether using the classic or skating technique, cross-country skiing is a winter sport that works the whole body. The powerful movements are good for the heart, circulatory system and lungs. The sport also helps to improve endurance, balance and coordination. Simply choose your preferred technique and go at your own pace and in line with your own level of fitness. The views of the mountains are rewarding, motivational and relaxing, all at the same time.
Classic cross-country skiing
The classic style “guides” cross-country skiers along two pre-created parallel tracks. With this technique, an easyto-learn kicking action moves you forward in diagonal strides. Skiing along the tracks is great for improving basic endurance as it is easy to maintain a steady heart rate.
Skating
Skating is the faster and more energetic technique where each pole push is followed by gliding on one ski. The sweeping sideways movements use the arm, gluteal and leg muscles. Skating is considered to be the slightly harder technique to learn and the more strenuous of the two styles as it uses a lot of energy, especially on climbs.
