Nordic Walking

Nordic Walking at the Hotel Saltauserhof in Passeier - Meran / Merano – South Tyrol

Nordic walking is the ultimate in outdoor training for the whole body and is fun for all ages! The 16 trails of the Gitschberg Jochtal region offer just the right amount of challenge for walkers…

17 reasons for Nordic Walking...

Nordic walking exercises not only 90% of your body’s muscles, it also maintains your pulse at the optimum level for burning off fat (400 as opposed to the 280 calories per hour achieved through normal walking). This sporting craze also protects knee and foot joints, builds aerobic stamina, optimises cardio-vascular performance, strengthens the muscles in your back and promotes an upright posture.

If the technique is carried out correctly, over 600 muscles are in constant motion, which is the equivalent to around 90% of all muscles. Through the correct use of both arm and leg muscles, the tempo can be raised and the effectiveness of the exercise increased. When poles are used correctly, they help to distribute pressure throughout the entire body. In addition, the circulatory system is placed under less strain than when jogging.
