This endurance sport of walking is using two sticks with rhythmic steps. In Kitzbuehel there are almost limitless possibilities for applying Nordic Walking. The 170 km of signposted Nordic walking and jogging trails and more than 1,000 km of hiking trails, are well suited for walking or running.

The sport of Nordic Walking - is fast walking with modified ski poles and has developed greatly in recent years. The use of poles makes the "normal" walking a workout, in which additionally the muscles of the upper body are used. The gentle aerobic sport is an excellent fat burner, easy on the joints and contributes to muscle workouts. The sports city Kitzbuehel has recognized the potential of this form of movement, and rapidly added "Nordic walking" into their program. They now have an infrastructure of 23 running and Nordic walking trails in "Kitz Running" and over 1,000 km of hiking trails.

The Folder with details on the running and Nordic walking trails are all available free from the Kitzbuehel Tourist offices. Many accommodation establishments offer deals on "Nordic Walking" also.
