nordic walking

Nordic Walking is a new sporting discipline that comes from Finland. It consists of walking with sticks that have been specially developed for this sport, and offers an easy, natural and very effective way to improve your physical condition and to tone body muscles, independently of your age, sex or physical fitness. What’s more, it’s fun, relaxing and inexpensive. In Nordic Walking you use around 90% of your body muscles, without putting excessive strain on joints, and with all the benefits that a complete workout of this kind brings. In the three levels of Nordic Walking - wellness, fitness and sport – each person finds his or her own level of ability and the exercises suitable for his or her own physical condition. You can take a quiet, therapeutic walk, do a good aerobic workout, or carry out specific exercises for athletes. Further information on Nordic Walking: www.anwi.it

ALPINE GUIDES

During the summer months, the Pozza di Fassa ski school collaborates with the Val di Fassa alpine guides. The Vajolet Ski School office, in fact, is transformed in the summer into the office of the alpine guides.

Fassa Alpine Guides have been walking over and exploring every corner of the Dolomites for over a hundred years, understanding all their secrets, in order to put experience and professionalism at the service of anyone who would like to have a taste of and get to know the mountains in their many aspects, from simple walks to the most difficult climbs, and from ski mountaineering trips to climbing on ice. This program was created by the DOLOMITI Alpine Guides Group to supply a synthetic guide to the many activities that the Dolomites can offer enthusiasts, guaranteeing them an unforgettable stay at any season of the year, in close contact with natural surroundings of incomparable beauty.

BUFFAURE EXCURSIONS CENTRE

The Buffaure excursions area offers lots of excursions, from very simple ones to really difficult ones. One of the most popular walks is that along the Val San Nicolò - one of the easiest in the Val di Fassa. But if you want to appreciate the sights of the Dolomite landscape, you have to take the new gondola skilift and go up to the Buffaure area. As well as enjoying the scenery of the Catinaccio or the Monzoni Group, you can go on a series of excursions. The path towards the Ciampac through the Val Jiumela, or continuing towards the San Nicolò pass and then downhill, or towards the Contrin, is well worth trying. A visit to the south face of the Marmolada is fascinating, as are all the Dolomite peaks that can be seen from up there. Those who want to investigate all the opportunities for excursions can consult the website www.dolomitinetwork.com on the summer pages for excursions in Val di Fassa.
