The Austrian Nordic Walking Association with headquarters in Innsbruck is an association with the goal to “improve health and overall wellbeing of the general public”. It is the only Austrian association that is also a member of INWA, the International Nordic Walking Federation. In the last years, ANWA licensed over 3,000 Nordic walking coaches. ANWA promotes the sports of Nordic Walking, Nordic Blading, Nordic Fitness Skiing and Nordic Snowshoeing. In cooperation with Vitalakademie and the Austrian Athletics Associations ASVÖ, ASKÖ and UNION, ANWA offers highest quality train-the-trainer courses.
Running on a regular basis improves health and can slow the effects of ageing. The motto of “laufwerkstatt” is “slow and with more focus”. For this reason they banned stop watches from all their programs and shifted their focus from performance improvement to fitness, fun and health. laufwerkstatt holds regular “wellness running seminars” for novice and advanced runners in small groups of no more than 5. Their program includes, among other things, nature runs, relaxation, healthy nutrition and Nordic walking. But laufwerkstatt also caters to fit runners with marathon experience: their “adventure run” has the goal to run across a part of Tirol as a group.
In Tirol, almost every place is a good place to run. But, thanks to the availability of well laid-out trails and a good signage system, some places are even better than others. The max2 running parks all offer scenic trails with superb views and a variety of terrain for all experience levels. The smart trail signage system makes it easy to find a trail that matches your fitness level.
NWO is an independent association dedicated to supporting and promoting Nordic walking as a healthy sport.
