What looks a lot like cross-country skiing with no snow and no skis?
Nordic walking. This
speed walking activity with two special poles is used for full-body
training. The sport is easy on joints, stimulates circulation and can be practiced anywhere though Switzerland’s
snow-topped mountains make for an amazing backdrop. An alternative to hitting the slopes or one for the few who can’t
get the hang of large, long, foreign objects being attached to the their legs. If you feel prepared to hit the trails
without any

country’s best
trails and parks for the gentle sport.
