Introduction
What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking is a fitness activity that incorporates the use of poles, which are specifically designed to enhance the natural walking experience. These poles are different from trekking poles and should not be confused with them.
The technique is reminiscent of the upper body action used in classic cross-country skiing, providing a comprehensive workout for the entire body. It can be enjoyed at many levels and we offer low, medium and high intensity walks.
More than 10 million people globally enjoy this activity all year round
