Nordic Walking at Obereggen, South Tyrol
Nordic walking keeps in shape
Nordic walking was developed in Finland and is as popular as ever. Its advantages are well proven: 90% more muscles are exercised, while the strain on the musculoskeletal system is reduced by 30% compared with conventional jogging. In addition it burns 400 calories per hour. All good reasons to visit South Tyrol's Nordic Walking Parks, or join in guided tours across the region's stunning landscape.
Nordic Walking is walking with special poles, which are not snatched, but rather swung alongside the body with every arm movement - an ideal method of getting fit gently and having fun at the same time.

On top of this, Nordic Walking is more effective than walking without poles, because in supporting yourself with the special poles, the burden on the spine, knee joints and foot joints is reduced. It helps you to use more energy, burn more fat and increase your strength and stamina more quickly. And the poles help you to keep your footing on uneven ground or in mud or snow.
