Nordic walking is a particularly soothing and gentle full-body workout that exercises practically all the muscles and can be done both in summer and winter.

Health aspects and features of Nordic walking and winter walking:

• quick and easy to learn
• suitable for every age bracket
• 20-30% more effective than normal walking
• relieves the musculoskeletal system by up to 15% and is particularly suitable for people with knee or back problems
• strengthens the upper body musculature too, and trains the aerobic endurance
• increases the metabolism
• strengthens the immune system and economizes the heart’s functioning

The unique landscape of Pontresina, the breathtaking backdrop of the Bernina Massif and the healthy mountain air provide ideal conditions for richly varied and promising Nordic winter walking hikes and tours. Beginners and experienced Nordic walkers also have the opportunity to book courses or single lessons in Pontresina.
