Walk on the snow
Nordic walking in winter offers a unique experience, very different from summer hikes. Tread on a carpet of immaculate snow, the poles resonating slightly with each step, cheeks rosy with the fresh and pure air. Unlike summer, where the heat can sometimes weigh, winter brings an invigorating energy. The landscapes are transformed: snowy forests, frozen lakes, soothing silence. This activity allows you to strengthen muscles and endurance while enjoying a serene and magical atmosphere. The snow magnifies every moment of this Nordic discipline.
