Do you still think it’s silly to use walking poles? Why don’t you try them out during your Kronplatz holiday? The amazing thing about Nordic walking is that 80 % of the back, chest and arm muscles are worked out, whereas in conventional walking without poles these parts of the body are often neglected totally. Using your arms usually increases the walking pace. The faster pace improves the cardio-vascular function. The arm movements intensify your breathing and thus enhance the oxygen consumption. Furthermore, poles take some of the strain off your legs and joints. Nordic walking is the perfect sport for people of all ages and heights and can be practised anywhere at any time of the year and without major effort. What’s more, the body burns 400 calories per hour compared to 280 in poleless walking!

Nordic Walking is pure fun – so try out this new attitude towards life at your wellness oriented holiday at the Kronplatz in the Dolomites. Have a nice time and enjoy walking, which is definitely suitable for everyone: for families, seniors, epicures as well as active athletes.
The biggest Nordic Walking Park in Europe, situated submontane the Kronplatz in the Dolomites, reaches from Pfalzen up to Bruneck, Olang and Rasen.

The park is very well signposted and its trails are up to 275-km-long. It has very easy but also more demanding paths with different elevation profiles.
