Healthy trend sport: Nordic walking

Nordic walking has become a new trend sport only recently. It is ideal for those who want to improve their walking fitness and make correct movements also in everyday life.

Nordic walking involves the same movements as cross-country skiing, but it is mainly enjoyed through fields and on roads, which are not covered by snow. Thanks to the use of walking poles it is possible to cover medium to long distances.

The AROSEA Life Balance Hotel in Val d’Ultimo employs qualified experts to provide you with tips and tricks regarding the right Nordic walking technique. Furthermore, walking poles and the entire Nordic walking equipment can be rented from the hotel.

Among the numerous beneficial effects of Nordic walking:

• reduces the strain on the musculoskeletal system by up to 30%
• eliminates muscle tensions in the shoulder and neck area
• burns 400 calories per hour
• improves the fitness of the heart and the circulatory system
• is the ideal outdoor sport for losing weight
