Experience the running and Nordic walking arena Tannheimer Tal

Whether breathless beginner or well-trained mountain athlete: In the Tannheimer Tal, everyone is catered for who wants to get moving in the fresh air and explore the surrounding mountains on foot. All participants, from hobby athletes to professionals, have a daily wide range of choices: Tyrol's largest network of paths offers 26 marked routes extending over a total of 186 kilometers. Beginner loops are just as included as demanding mountain runs. And to let all guests know which path matches their fitness and demands, a specially prepared map and small signs provide information about elevation profile, difficulty level, 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 movement enthusiasts lie in the six villages Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz. From here, walkers, Nordic walkers, and runners follow the signposts easily recognizable by the little figures with poles. Moreover, all routes, as well as ski slopes, are categorized in black, red, and blue. This optimal marking contributed, among other things, to the fact that Europe's probably most beautiful high valley has officially called itself a "running and walking competence center" since 2005.

Head east until shortly before the district Innergschwend. At the fork near the Martins Chapel turn left and head west into the district Berg. At the first crossroads, head south back to the starting point.

Next to the Martins Chapel in the inn Öfner, there are delicious homemade cakes.

It should be noted that running and walking sports can carry an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, there is always a basic risk. Preparing for routes through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk of accidents and hazards.

Personal equipment must be safe and functional and meet the respective technical standards. Everyone is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes in specialist literature or on site. Complete equipment is strongly recommended even for experienced users!
