Description:
Experience the Running and Nordic Walking Arena Tannheimer Tal

Whether a breathless beginner or well-trained mountain athlete: In the Tannheimer Tal, everyone who likes to move in fresh air and explore the surrounding mountains on foot gets their money's worth. All active people, from hobby athletes to professionals, have plenty of choice every day: The largest network of trails in Tyrol offers 26 marked routes extending over a total of 186 kilometers. There are beginner loops as well as demanding mountain runs. And so that all guests know which path suits their fitness and requirements, a specially designed map and small signs provide information 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 located in the six villages 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. Moreover, all routes, just like ski slopes, are classified into the categories black, red, and blue. This optimal marking contributed, among other things, to the fact that Europe’s probably most beautiful high valley has been officially called the "Running and Walking Competence Center" since 2005.
