Description:
Experience the Running and Nordic Walking Arena Tannheimer Tal 

Whether breathless beginner or well-trained mountain athlete: in the Tannheimer Tal, everyone who enjoys moving in the fresh air and exploring the surrounding mountains on foot will get their money's worth. Every day, from hobby athletes to professionals, all have the dilemma of choice: The largest network of trails in Tyrol offers 26 marked routes covering a total of 186 kilometers. Beginner loops are included, as well as challenging mountain runs. And to ensure all guests know which route suits their fitness and demands, a specially designed map and small signs inform about elevation profile, difficulty level, and length of the trail – 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 also balm for the soul. The starting points for all those eager to move are in the six villages of Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz. From here, walkers, Nordic walkers, and runners follow the signposts. They are easy to recognize: little figures with poles. Additionally, all routes, like the ski slopes, are categorized into black, red, and blue. This optimal labeling helped contribute to what is probably Europe's most beautiful high valley officially calling itself a "Running and Walking Competence Center" since 2005.

Directions:
Take the gondola to the Neunerköpfle mountain station. From there, head south on an easy-to-walk mountain path to the Oberen Strindenalpe. Continue on a forest road over the Strindenscharte to the Gappenfeld Alpe.

We follow the same path back to the starting point.

Tip:
Stop at one of the huts along the way, hearty snacks await you.Safety guidelines:
It should be noted that there is a risk of accidents and injuries in running and walking sports. Despite careful route planning, there is always a basic risk. Preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal caution reduces the risk of accidents and dangers.Equipment:
Personal equipment must be safe and functional and meet the respective technical standards. It is recommended that everyone inform themselves about the planned routes in specialist literature or on site. Full equipment is absolutely recommended even for experienced people!Additional information:
