Nordic Walking - Written by Andrew

There is no doubt that you do need to have a certain level of fitness before signing up for this walk along the Gerlos Hills but there are beginner and advanced classes available so most people can give it a go.And if you want a break from skiing for one day, this is the perfect solution as it allows you to really appreciate the breathtaking scenery here and relax.I thought it was going to be like climbing Everest but I couldn't have been more wrong.Although I was ready to start as soon as I arrived the instructor made us warm up with pre walk stretches which I found hilarious.If you've watched the programme you'll know what I'm talking about.I have to say, that even though I thought I was good at walking especially since I have been doing it for most of my life (!), the instructor had to correct my technique a number of times which was funny - but I suppose he knows best!
