Nordic Walking
 The Nordic Walking, a new and healthy sport activity coming from Finland, arrives finally in Garda lake. Already 6 millions people all around the world do this sport, finally landed at Garda lake, the ideal area to do it thanks to the beautiful mountains and the wonderful paths characterizing the natural environment. The Nordic Walking is more than a simple walk, since it makes you burn up more calories and move more muscles, carrying out a good action on the cardiovascular system. Around 20 years ago, some Finnish cross -country skis athletes decided to train in summer time walking on the green fields with the usual rockets, giving birth to this new sport. The equipment has been improving a lot and even the Nordic Walking lovers have been increasing very much in the last years.
In Riva del Garda was set up the Anwi, the Italian Nordic Walking Association and a Nordic Walking Park is going to be set right in Garda trentino, on the area surrounding Riva del Garda and Arco.
