Trend sport Nordic Walking

The happy medium between walking and running - that's Nordic Walking. An endurance sport to get fit, stay fit and enjoy. The Salzkammergut with its healthy air, scenic beauty and diverse nature is made for Nordic walking. Whether alone, in pairs or in a group: while walking you also have time to look, chat and experience.

 

The perfect endurance sport

Especially from a medical point of view Nordic Walking is highly recommended, as it is a perfect cardiovascular workout. The speed can be adjusted to the individual fitness, and the use of the poles also trains the muscles of the upper body. Nordic Walking is therefore equally suitable for ambitious athletes as for untrained or convalescent people. The right technique is learned quickly, and no complicated or expensive equipment is needed.
