Skike: The new ski alternative for summer

Every year, skiers face a tough time from May, or June at the latest, as the last of the snow disappears from the Alps. Fortunately, for several years now there have been a whole range of alternative sports that make skiing or cross-country skiing possible in summer, too. The latest trend is called Skike, a combination of roller skis, inline skates and mountain biking, and it is gaining more and more fans in Germany as well.

Skike courses are now even offered by some ski schools in Germany or by specially trained Skike instructors. Skike brings together the advantages of the sports mentioned above in a single new trend sport, guaranteeing plenty of fun and lasting learning benefits. The greatest advantage of Skiking over roller skiing is probably that the new sports equipment is suitable for off-road use and also has a sophisticated braking system that makes downhill runs completely safe.

Since Skiking works almost all the major muscle groups throughout the body, it is a particularly effective fitness program that can also be enjoyed outdoors. As with similar sports such as summer biathlon or roller skiing, occasional Skike competitions are also held in Germany. Skike is ideal for all skiers who want to stay in shape over the summer, as well as for beginners who want to remember what they have just learned until the next winter.
