Nordic walking is a great alternative to hiking and popular with many locals and visitors here in See. One of the best places to enjoy this healthy sport is the Wellnesspark Medrigalm. Nordic walking is easy on the joints and muscles but still provides a good workout for the body's cardiovascular system.
As you make your way through the landscape you will have time to enjoy the fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Culinary adventure taking in the four villages of the Paznaun Valley
The Culinary Way of Saint James, as this trail is known, is a treat for all the senses. Walkers can enjoy fabulous views at up to 2000 metres above sea level as they make their way between some of the best huts in the region serving food prepared by five award-winning international chefs.
