NORDIC WALKING IN SERFAUS-FISS-LADIS
Take a Nordic Walking tour in a landscape of rich greens and breathtaking views
So far, a total of 133 kilometres have been marked as Nordic Walking paths, offering various degrees of difficulty — "133 kilometres of pure pleasure". In winter, these trails convert to ski runs. The severity of a walking path corresponds to its classification as a ski slope: blue, red, and black for flat, average, and steep.
All tracks start off in one of the three villages high up on the plateau and lead into the mountains. This can be a pleasant, gradual ascent or an arduous climb. A walker's delight, for beginners as much as for experienced hikers.
All tracks lead through the picturesque alpine landscape. Instead of skiers pacing down the slopes, you see rich, green meadows gleaming in the blazing sunlight. Herbs and flowers glow in a multitude of colours, while cows graze on the mountain pastures that surround the three Tyrolean villages Serfaus, Fiss and Ladis. Enjoy the many facets of nature in this unique region as you trudge along the summit trails and forest paths, swinging your walking poles to the beat.
If you go for one of the more demanding trails through the forest or decide to select your own personal walking route from the approx. 500 kilometres of signposted hiking tracks, your shoes had better go all the way up to your ankles. Standard running or walking shoes that give proper flexibility and cushioning are the best for the flat gravel and asphalt paths, but if you want to tackle one of the forest tracks, your ankle joints will need firm support when treading in and between roots.
In good weather, the Bifang route and other tracks which lead up to the Komperdell or Schönjoch mountain tops feature a magnificent view. And if you do not make too much noise with your walking poles and look close enough, you might discover an inquisitive marmot — or witness the spectacular event of the golden eagle soaring down towards its lunch.
