Alpine Nordic Walking is a guided session of brisk walking with poles, designed for corporate groups who want an active break with no special equipment or prior technique. Professional instructors teach the rhythm of the stride, the use of the poles and the breathing pattern, so that each participant walks more efficiently from the first kilometre. The routes follow forest tracks, meadows and high pastures near the lake, with views across the surrounding ranges when the weather is clear. The walk can be taken at a steady pace for a relaxed session or pushed into a more energetic version for participants who want a real workout. Because the technique is simple and the pace is set by each person, the activity suits a mixed group and avoids the pressure of a competitive event. It fits a morning in the middle of a seminar, a wellness break after a long day of meetings, or the start of a team retreat that wants to move people out of the room. Many colleagues find that walking side by side is an easier way to talk than a formal discussion, and the instructor leaves time for short pauses. The session can be extended with a light lunch or a drink on the lakeside, booked in advance. Route, length and level are chosen with the client according to the season and the group.
