Nordic Walking

Stay active in nature—discover Nordic walking as a full-body workout that’s easy on the joints, and enjoy exercising in the fresh mountain air around Lake Achensee.

Nordic walking combines effective endurance training with an immersive experience of nature. Through the targeted use of poles, nearly all muscles are activated, while joints and the spine are relieved of strain at the same time.

Together, we’ll explore the beautiful Oberautal valley with the Stod Waterfall at the valley entrance, or the idyllic Unterautal valley, using Nordic walking poles. The rhythmic movements promote endurance, coordination, and flexibility, and provide new energy as well as an increased sense of well-being. This dynamic form of walking with poles stimulates both the immune system and the cardiovascular system and, among other benefits, helps lower high blood pressure.

Note: Sportswear, sturdy athletic shoes or lightweight hiking boots, sunscreen, and a water bottle
