From Nordic walking to trail running

Running in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena

Running is still among the most popular outdoor sports – no matter the season. Both standard jogging and Nordic walking strengthen the cardio-vascular system. Running lets you clear your mind, and endorphins are released. Good news for sports enthusiasts: On the Tyrolean side of the Zugspitze, everything runs smoothly for you. Catch some sun and fresh mountain air, with or without poles, on signposted trails or cross-country routes: It’s time to get active!

Exploring the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena while running

Local running and Nordic walking routes

In the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena, every single one of the many running and walking routes has its own particular charm. One day, you’ll run along crystal-clear mountain lakes and expansive fields. The next, the trail leads you to a rustic hut. And if you’re interested in history, you can even jog along the Via Claudia, an ancient Roman road. No matter which route you choose: Nordic walking or running on the Tyrolean side of the Zugspitze is always an exciting adventure– that’s for sure! 

Tip: The route planner gives you an overview of the various routes. All data can also be accessed via GPS. Level of difficulty and duration of the preferred route can be individually adjusted.

Off to new adventures!

Trail running around the Zugspitze

Sometimes, it’s simply time to leave the trodden path. It’s not surprising that many runners head out into the open terrain in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Trail running is becoming increasingly popular among runners. Remote trails, soft forest floors, blue lakes and scenic views: Trail running is a great way to explore the region at the foot of the Zugspitze from an entirely new perspective. 

By the way: Together with the Grainau region, the trail running routes around the Zugspitze were further developed and improved. The project was funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
