The
Walking Center Italy Association organizes introductory lessons and courses to learn Nordic Walking and outings to practice this sport at the seaside, in the mountains and in city parks.
To correctly learn the Nordic Walking technique it is essential to rely on expert instructors. The instructors of the Walking Center Italy are qualified by the Italian Nordic Walking School and internationally recognized by the International Pole About Association of Marko Kantaneva (the inventor of Nordic Walking).
The courses are structured in such a way as to make you learn the Nordic Walking technique thanks to a teaching methodology divided into 5 phases and are presented in various ways in order to meet the availability of time of each individual person:
