Cross-country skiing is an intense endurance sport that makes you sweat a lot. Therefore, despite cold temperatures are possible, you should wear breathable, tight-fitting clothing and follow the "onion principle" – which means several thin layers on top of each other. Depending on the intensity or outside temperature, the right cross-country skiing outfit from head to toe could look like this: Headband, neck gaiter/scarf or thin cap Functional underwear & thin cross-country ski jacket that protects against wind; optional vest or lycra jersey as a mid-layer in colder temperatures Skin-tight pants or softshell cross-country ski pants Thin gloves; in cold temperatures thicker gloves or mittens may be needed Thin socks that reach up to the calf (classic knee-length ski socks are usually too warm) The expert sports shops in Sölden will be happy to advise you on choosing the right cross-country ski clothing.
