Nordic walking at the Lido of Venice

As well as its cycle path, which crosses it from north to south (and, if you wish, lets you continue along the island of Pellestrina), you can enjoy a round of golf at Alberoni, home to Venice’s only course.

Or you can enjoy going Nordic walking with other enthusiasts.

This form of exercise is a real cure-all: with constant alternating movement of arms and shoulders, supported by special poles, it lets you work out about 90% of the body. It is a complete activity, suitable for all ages, which helps to strengthen the muscles and relieve tension and stress.

The group Nordic Walking Venezia Serenissima is active at the Lido, organising courses, group training and events on the island and in different parts of the Venice Lagoon.
