Description

Description:
Experience the Running and Nordic Walking Arena Tannheimer Tal 

Whether breathless beginner or well-trained mountain athlete: In the Tannheimer Tal, everyone who wants to be active in the fresh air and explore the surrounding mountains on foot will find something to suit them. All active people, from amateurs to professionals, face the daily choice: The largest network of trails in Tyrol offers 26 signposted routes spanning a total of 186 kilometers. Beginner loops are just as included as demanding mountain runs. And so that all guests know which path suits their condition and requirements, a specially developed map and small signs provide information about elevation profile, difficulty, and route length - the Running and Nordic Walking map.


Along meadows, over green alpine pastures, by sparkling mountain lakes... Walking and running in the Tannheimer Tal is not only the best training for the body but above all balm for the soul. The starting points for all those eager for movement are in the six villages Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz. From here, walkers, Nordic walkers, and runners follow the guideposts. They are easy to recognize: little figures with poles. Additionally, all trails, as well as ski slopes, are classified into black, red, and blue categories. An optimal marking that contributed, among other things, to the fact that since 2005, this probably most beautiful high valley in Europe may officially call itself the "Running and Walking Competence Center."
