Description:

Experience the Running and Nordic Walking Arena Tannheimer Tal


Whether breathless beginner or well-trained mountain athlete: Everyone gets their money's worth in the Tannheimer Tal who wants to move in the fresh air and explore the surrounding mountains on foot. Active people, from hobby athletes to professionals, have the daily choice: Tyrol's largest network of trails offers 26 marked routes extending over a total of 186 kilometers. Beginner loops are just as included as challenging mountain runs. And so all guests know which path matches their condition and demands, a specially developed map and small boards provide information about the altitude profile, difficulty level, and length of the route - 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 hungry for movement lie in the six villages Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz.

Directions:
Head straight south to the Maria Hilf Chapel. Turn right and at the next fork turn south past the shooting range and football field onto the forest path. Then follow the paved path to Vilsalpsee. Along the right lake shore almost to the Vilsalpe, then return the same way and follow the paved path north to the bridge. Turn right there, above the Schmieden district towards the cable car. Pass under the cable car and head west into the village of Tannheim. At the crossroads head north and back to the starting point via the roundabout.Safety guidelines:

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

Equipment:

Personal equipment must be safe and usable and comply with the respective technical standard. It is recommended that everyone inform themselves in specialist literature or locally about the planned routes. Complete equipment is absolutely recommended even for experienced people!
