Jungholzer Village Walk

Description:
Experience the Tannheimer Tal Running and Nordic Walking Arena 

Whether you’re a breathless beginner or a well-trained mountaineer: In the Tannheimer Valley, everyone who wants to get some exercise in the fresh air and explore the surrounding mountains on foot will find something to suit their needs. Every day, active visitors—from casual athletes to professionals—are spoiled for choice: Tyrol’s largest trail network offers 26 marked routes stretching a total of 186 kilometers. There are beginner loops as well as challenging mountain runs. And to ensure that all guests know which trail suits their fitness level and preferences, a specially designed map and small signs provide information on elevation profile, difficulty level, and route length—the Running and Nordic Walking Map.

Along meadows, across green alpine pastures, past sparkling mountain lakes… Walking and running in the Tannheim Valley isn’t just the best workout for the body, but above all, balm for the soul. The starting points for all those eager to get active are located in the six villages of Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz. From here, hikers, Nordic walkers, and runners follow the trail markers. They’re easy to spot: little figures with walking sticks. In addition, all trails—just like ski slopes—are categorized as black, red, and blue. This optimal signage system is one of the reasons why what is arguably Europe’s most beautiful high valley has been officially designated a “Running and Walking Center of Excellence” since 2005.

It is important to note that running and walking can involve a risk of accidents and injuries. Even with careful route planning, a basic level of risk always remains. Preparing for a route through endurance training, appropriate technical training and continuing education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk of accidents and other hazards. Equipment:
Personal equipment must be safe, in good working order, and meet the applicable technical standards. Everyone is advised to research their planned tours in specialized literature or on-site. A full set of equipment is strongly recommended, even for experienced hikers!Additional information:
